Speeding or driving recklessly through a work zone increases the risk of injury to both workers and drivers. When approaching a work zone, it is best to slow down and take notice of any changes. These can include reduced speed limits, roadway markings such as lane shifting, and adhere to newly placed signs or flaggers. For example, it is a general work zone rule to turn headlights on to make your vehicle more visible. According to chapter 17c of the West Virginia Code, work zone violations can include up to $200 in fines. Penalties also include up to 20 days in jail if the speed exceeds 15 miles above the posted speed limit.
