Because roads in disrepair are dangerous for motorists to travel on. But, driving in construction zones also poses a danger to motorists and construction workers alike. So, the state takes driving violations in a construction zone seriously. And, this is what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2>Unsafe Driving Habits in Construction Zones<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, navigating through a construction zone can add to a driver\u2019s frustration with an already busy roadway. Especially, when you add construction barriers, new traffic flows, and large construction vehicles. So, we listed some unsafe driving habits you should avoid while in a construction zone.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Speed Limit<\/strong> &#8211; Not following the reduced speed limit posted in the construction zone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lane Changes<\/strong> &#8211; Merging at the last minute or waiting until the lane ends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Driving Distracted<\/strong> &#8211; Using a cell phone without a hands-free device, texting, or any action that takes your attention off the road.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Following Safe Distance<\/strong> &#8211; Tailgating or following another vehicle too closely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passing<\/strong> &#8211; Drivers not reducing their speed while passing work vehicles stopped on the side of the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Construction Zone Speeding Violation Penalties<\/h2>\n<p>Next, a person <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.rhinolawyers.com\/es\/practice-areas\/traffic-tickets\/speeding-tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caught speeding<\/a> in a construction zone is subject to the maximum fine.
