What happens to fines for violations that occur in work zone areas?

Fines for violations that occur in work zone areas are indeed doubled. This legal framework is established to enhance safety in zones where road construction and maintenance work is taking place. The increased fines serve as a deterrent against speeding and unsafe driving behaviors in these high-risk areas, where workers are present and vulnerable to traffic incidents. This higher penalty structure emphasizes the importance of adhering to posted signs and regulations that are often critically relevant to both the safety of construction workers and motorists. The goal is to foster a culture of careful driving in these zones, thereby protecting lives and reducing accidents.
