Governor Kay Ivey signed Senate Bill 341, the Alabama Work Zone Safety Act, on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
The bill was sponsored by Senator Josh Carnley and Representative Mike Kirkland. It establishes a pilot program to authorize the procurement, installation and operation of a photographic speed enforcement system within an interstate highway work zone.
Gov. Ivey stated, “It is critical that we all drive carefully through work zones.”
“This new law will help us improve safety around our roadwork and the enforcement mechanisms going forward.”
The State is committed to rebuilding Alabama in all 67 counties. Therefore, the safety of the men and women doing the hard work is paramount.
“I appreciate my colleagues in the Legislature for their support and thank you to Gov. Ivey for her leadership in this important legislation,” said Sen. Carnley.
Last year, among the 2,543 crashes in work zones, there were 11 fatalities and 709 injuries.
