Disregarded Warning Sign At Construction Fines, Traffic Points And Defense

Driving through any type of construction site on a public road is potentially an issue for getting a ticket if you are not following what the road signs are indicating for speed or driving conditions. All construction areas have to be posted as such, and anyone caught speeding or ignoring construction warning signs is punished very significantly due to the potential for loss of life with workers on the road. In most areas fines double if workers are present, regardless of the speed over the posted limit that was recorded.

Fines And Penalties

In most areas the fines for being found guilty of failure to obey a construction warning sign, or a traffic stop in a construction zone will range between $100.00 to up to and over $250.00. Speeding in a construction zone and ignoring the posted speeding signs will double the fines and may result in other charges as well. Points are generally assigned in these cases as well.

Points And Impact On Driving Record/License

Depending on the category of your license and the other issues taken into consideration driver responsibility points typically vary from two to three, depending on the specific area in which the violation occurred. Since these points can quickly add up on your license it is essential to contest the ticket and attempt to keep your driver's license clear from any driver responsibility points.

Hiring a Lawyer

Disregarded warning at construction tickets are often seen as not worth fighting, however they can have a huge impact on your driving record, insurance and even your cost of license renewal. For bus and commercial drivers they are particularly problematic and can result in the license being revoked if they push the point total over the limit. Getting experienced legal representation is essential in any type of moving violation, especially one as significant as this.
