REDUCE SPEED IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES: Designated construction zones are established to reduce speed limits as a preventive measure to protect the safety and well-being of workers and motorists. The Highway Traffic Act gives municipalities authority to designate construction zones on roads in their ...jurisdictions and provides the ability to double fines for speeding in designated construction zones when workers are present. This makes it easier for municipalities to reduce enforceable speed limits.

Once designated by an authorized individual, a construction zone must be marked with signs in accordance with the regulation.

Please slow down and observe posted speeds in designated zones. Stay safe!
