2009 Regular Session
House Bill 5641
AN ACT REQUIRING FINES FOR CERTAIN TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS IN CONSTRUCTION WORK ZONES IN MUNICIPALITIES TO BE DOUBLED.
What it does
The synopsis the General Assembly published with the bill.
Currently, fines for certain traffic violations must be doubled if the violation occurs in (1) a construction zone on a state highway that has been designated in a conspicuous manner according to the law, or (2) a utility work zone designated in a conspicuous manner by a public service or water company. This bill extends the same requirement for doubling these fines if they occur in construction zones on municipal roads. Revenue from all of the fines is deposited in the Special Transportation Fund. As is the case for state highway construction zones, the municipality must designate the zone with a sign at the beginning that reads "ROAD WORK AHEAD FINES DOUBLED" and another at the end of the construction zone that reads "END ROAD WORK".
