Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE)

Excessive speed is a major factor in motor vehicle accidents and thus, is an important focus of highway enforcement efforts.  Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems combine radar with cameras to enforce speeding laws.  A vehicle that is speeding is detected by radar, which triggers a camera to take a photograph or digitally records the license plate number, and the driver is issued a citation, usually through the mail.  ASE provides a cost-effective method to improve speed enforcement and allows police officers to focus on other enforcement priorities.
