PESOTUM – In its first day on the job on Interstate 57, a state police speed-enforcement van spotted 14 drivers zooming through a construction zone near Thomasboro.

The van is one of four the state owns that takes pictures of violators as they pass. That information is then sent to a vendor who processes the pictures, picks out the ones where drivers are clearly identifiable, and sends them back to state police.
