What happens to fines in construction zones?

In construction zones, fines are typically doubled as a measure to enhance safety and compliance. This heightened penalty serves as a deterrent for drivers who may be tempted to speed or engage in unsafe driving behaviors in areas where workers are present and the risk of accidents is significantly increased. The rationale behind this policy is to protect both the construction workers and the drivers by encouraging adherence to the speed limits and other regulations established in these zones, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries. Ultimately, the doubling of fines signals to the public that driving safely in construction zones is a critical priority.
