Drivers caught going more than 10 mph over the speed limit in active construction zones can be fined up to $150.

What does active mean? When workers are present? Then good.

However, an active construction zone with no workers should not be held to the same standards such as on weekends and holidays.

PA doesn’t gauge a work zone as “active” by having workers present. A construction zone is deemed “active” if the yellow flashing lights warning you of a construction zone are on. It can be 2.17a on a Sunday morning in the middle of a blizzard - if the lights are flashing, the construction zone is “active” and enhanced penalties apply.

Some construction zones have electronic billboards up saying the zone is active 24/7.

Most warnings about speeding in construction zones use the words “when workers present”.....
