Fines in a construction zone are:
- Doubled. ✓
- Tripled.
- Cut in half.
- No different than usual.
Answer: A. Doubled.
Speeding fines in a construction zone are doubled.
Why this is the answer
The New York manual says ticket fines double when you speed in work zones, including when workers or work vehicles are not there. A construction zone is the kind of road-work area the manual describes, so the bank answer matches the handbook's work-zone penalty rule. The manual does not say fines triple, are reduced, or stay the same.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Tripled. — The manual says work-zone speeding fines double, not triple.
- C. Cut in half. — The manual raises the fine for speeding in a work zone; it does not reduce it.
- D. No different than usual. — The manual says the fine doubles in a work zone, so it is different from a usual ticket.
Remember it
When you see orange work-zone signs, expect a steeper penalty for speeding than on a normal stretch.
