- Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows: It’s rare that we get a clear example of the need for a policy that’s right before us the very same day we’re also taking it up. House Bill Nos. 4132 and 4133 would allow MDOT to install and use automated speed enforcement systems in active work zones on the highways and streets under MDOT’s jurisdiction. It’s not just necessary to help calm traffic and slow folks down who are driving at ridiculous speeds in many of our construction zones, sometimes when there aren’t workers present but also when they are present. This is necessary to prevent injury and death of the very people fixing our roads and bridges across Michigan. People like my constituent, a road worker who was struck and killed this morning in a work zone on I-75 in Detroit. A lot of us coming up from the southeast Michigan area might have even heard about it on the radio giving the traffic reports of where road closures were and what-not. It’s very sobering to see the work we have before us have the potential to have a direct impact on the lives of the people we live near, live next to, with, and around. These bills would help improve the safety of our workers as well as other motorists, and I strongly urge a “yes” vote on both of these bills. The following bill was read a third time: House Bill No. 4133, entitled A bill to amend 1961 PA 236, entitled “Revised judicature act of 1961,” by amending section 8379 (MCL 600.8379), as amended by 2000 PA 93.
