Who has been pulled over forspeeding in a work zone on theNew York State thruway? Whatwere the fines?
I got a ticket near Albany. 62 in a 45 work zone on the thruway. I was in the process of slowing down, but I guess I didnt do it fast enough. I plead not guilty and sent a "nice" letter like the officer told me to do. Now, I have a court date instead. I really dont feel like driving to Albany again. In fact, I cant, because I work full time and I dont think I can make it. So, has anyone just bent over and taken it you know where? What were the damages? I just switced insurance, so maybe it wont show up until they renew? Thanks.
Normally your fine is doubled in a work zone & the bent over ? that's a crazy one 2 ask.Your insurance company will know about your ticket ASAP..Good Luck
Are you supposed to drivewithin work zone speed limitif there is no worker or noflashing light by the sign?
I drive on interstates regularly that have 55 speed limits. I try to be within 60 however traffic flow is in 65 most of the time. Sometime I had to speed up as there were big trucks tailgating me. Things become worse in the work zone stretches with 45 speed limits. Most of the time there is no worker. Am I still supposed to drive in 45?
Regardless of whether or not there are people working or not, you are required by law to obey the posted speed limit. As for the trucks that are tailgating you, move over to the right lane, copy down the name and number of the company and let them know what their drivers are doing. As a Highway Patrol Officer for NYC, i routinely enforce posted speed limits @ work zones. I try to be as fair as possible and usually don't write anyone for less than 30mph over the posted limit. Furthermore, if there aren't any workers then I just change the subdivision and make it a regular speeding ticket as opposed to speeding in a work zone (double fine).
How fast should a car go in awork zone?
I'm a new driver (only been driving for 3 months) and went through a work zone today. They had their "Slow" signs held up, so I went 20mph, but I felt like that was really slow. I think I read in the book you're supposed to go about 15mph, but I don't know for sure. Should I hover between 15-20mph next time?
It varies in my part of the country. In urban areas they set up temporary speed signs based on a number of factors. On the highway it is a Provincial law that you must slow to 60 Kms/hour = approx. 37 Mph. when approaching and passing through a construction zone. And passing another vehicle is prohibited.
