States Permitting the Use of Automated Speed Enforcement

This map shows which states permit Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras. The laws differ greatly across the country: some states clearly allow ASE, sometimes only in specific areas, others leave the decision to local governments, and a few ban it entirely. This map is for general purposes only, always confirm requirements with current state statutes and local ordinances for the most up to date regulations.

Definitions: Allowed = State law permits ASE in some form (often limited to school/work zones or pilot programs) or allows local adoption under state parameters. Prohibited = State statute expressly bans speed cameras/automated speed enforcement. Local/Unspecified = No explicit statewide authorization; local implementation may be restricted or absent—check local law.
