In most states, yes. To encourage folks to pay more attention to those working on the roads and highways.
Fines double in construction zones, so GET A LAWYER and just TRY to fight it. Good luck!
Speeding fines in some places double on holidays and in construction zones. They also tend to set up speed traps on certain weekends and holidays.
It varies based on how much over the speed limit you were going, and any other contributing circumstances (work zones, school zones, poor weather, etc).
Speeding.
Yes, law enforcement officers often consider speeding in marked construction zones as aggressive driving behavior. This is because such actions not only endanger the lives of construction workers but also pose risks to other drivers and pedestrians. Additionally, many jurisdictions have stricter penalties for speeding in these areas to enhance safety. Consequently, officers are likely to take such violations seriously.
Speeding.
you must deduct 10 mph from the posted speed limit at all times..... WRONG Double Fine Zones Due to increased collision-related injuries and fatalities certain roads are designated as "Safety Enhanced- Double Fine Zones." Fines for violations are doubled in these zones and also in highway construction or maintenance zones when workers are present. (CVC §42010)
Generally yes.
The fine for speeding in a work zone is doubles only when works are there.

That's really bad one. Usually the fine doubles in construction zones, however, it may even end up in an arrest (reckless driving and public endangerment), depending on how fast you were going. In a school zone and depending on the state you live in, it is double fine plus an additional $ 100 for every 10 mph you went over the limit and including arrest with a reckless driving charge also. It is pretty bad situation to be caught in, SLOW DOWN!!
Generally around $100 (it varies by county.) Also Depending on where your speeding you can receive 0 - 3 points. 0 Points for Expressway, 3 points for construction zones, and 2 points everywhere else.
