Fines for speeding in work zones:

In Connecticut, anyone convicted of speeding, disobeying traffic control devices, using an improper lane, or endangering a highway worker within a work zone can face fines of up to $1,000, can be assessed points against their driver license, and may be required to complete the driver retraining program. In addition, distracted driving fines are doubled for anyone convicted of illegally using a hand-held cellular phone or mobile electronic device while driving in a work zone.
