Explanation
Work zones can be stationary or involve moving vehicles performing tasks like snow removal or line painting. If you don’t slow down or fail to follow the traffic signs posted in a work zone, you risk receiving a fine that’s twice as high as usual. This increased penalty is in place because speeding or ignoring signs puts the lives of workers on-site at risk. Stay alert for the typical orange signs with black lettering or symbols, which indicate a work zone ahead.
