Question

Difficulty: MediumSpecial Zone Signs and Markings

In a designated construction work zone where traffic fines are doubled, a driver is legally permitted to resume normal highway speed immediately after passing the last active construction vehicle, even if an 'END ROAD WORK' sign has not yet been reached.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. Work zone speed limits and doubled fine penalties remain legally binding until passing an official exit sign, such as 'END ROAD WORK', regardless of visible construction activity.
Special zone speed limits and double-fine enforcement remain active throughout the entire designated segment of roadway bounded by entry signs and the exit 'END ROAD WORK' sign.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify how special work zone boundaries are legally established.
Work zones are bounded by official traffic control devices, starting with advance warning signs and concluding with an 'END ROAD WORK' sign.
Traffic laws regulate special zones based on posted regulatory signage rather than driver perception of active construction.
2
Determine the proper driving conduct prior to reaching the exit sign.
Maintain the designated work zone speed limit until passing the 'END ROAD WORK' sign.
Resuming higher speeds before the official end of the zone constitutes a traffic violation subject to doubled fines.
