What is the typical fine for speeding in a work zone?

The typical fine for speeding in a work zone is $80. This fine is set higher than regular speeding fines to reflect the increased risks and dangers associated with construction zones. Temporary workers and road maintenance crews are vulnerable, and speeding through these areas can greatly endanger their safety. The higher fines are intended to deter drivers from exceeding speed limits in these critical zones and to promote greater awareness of the presence of workers and equipment on the road.

Other choices reflect lower amounts which do not align with the increased penalties established to protect individuals in work zones. The specific amount serves as both a warning and an incentive for drivers to adhere to the posted speed limits, particularly when indicated by additional signage that specifies work zone speeds.
