Fines in a construction zone are:
- Doubled. ✓
- Tripled.
- Cut in half.
Answer: A. Doubled.
Fines in a construction zone are doubled.
Why this is the answer
The handbook explains that fines are doubled in highway construction or maintenance zones when workers are present. It places this under work-zone rules that also tell drivers to slow down, leave extra space, and watch for sudden stops and lane changes. It also says certain roads are Safety Enhanced-Double Fine Zones because of crash injuries and fatalities, and fines are doubled there too. So the correct choice is the one saying fines are doubled.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Tripled. — The handbook says fines are doubled, not tripled, in work zones when workers are present.
- C. Cut in half. — Cutting fines in half is the opposite of the handbook's rule that work-zone fines are doubled.
Remember it
Workers present means double the fine, not triple it.
