Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Devices (ATESD)
The purpose of the Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Device (ATESD) Program is to empower Connecticut municipalities to improve roadway and pedestrian safety within their communities. ATESD capture images of drivers committing traffic violations, such as speeding and running through red lights. The objective of this program is to improve public safety, change driver behavior, and save lives.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation, along with municipalities, and other stakeholders have developed guidelines for the Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Device (ATESD) Program. This guidance document contains:
- Guidelines for applying for an ATESD.
- Requirements for installing an ATESD.
- Criteria CTDOT will be using to evaluate plans submitted by Connecticut municipalities.
