I don’t have a problem with them running strong speed enforcement on active construction zones, that’s an issue of worker safety. But too often, I’ve seen those low speed limits and excessive fines continue to stay up when a construction area is completely deserted. That’s nothing more than revenue enhancement.

And are the speed zones only in effect when the lights on the signs are flashing? or at all times?

Yep. Last speeding ticket I got was in a construction zone on an interstate in Idaho. It was the 4th of July and the cop was waiting at the bottom of a hill just beyond a curve in the road.

There was no one else on the road for a mile in front of or in back of me.

That's why Texas put "when workers are present" on all of those construction signs.
