CHEHALIS, Wash. — The state Transportation Department is rolling out a new tool to stop speeding in highway construction zones.

It’s an automated camera system that captures the license number of a speeding car and sends a $137 ticket to the owner.

The department is setting up the camera in an SUV at a project on I-5 at Chehalis. It officially starts on Sept. 15.
