Road Signs
You are driving through a clearly marked construction zone in Ontario. The posted lower speed limit is 60 km/h. Why is exceeding this limit particularly costly?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Fines are doubled when workers are present
Ontario doubles speeding fines in construction zones where workers are present. This reflects the extreme risk to workers who have no protection from passing traffic. The rule is enforced by police and by photo-radar in some zones.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Fines are the same as in any speed zoneConstruction-zone fines are increased, not equal to standard zones; this is a key safety deterrent.
- C.Your insurance premium is reducedTraffic violations raise insurance premiums; they never reduce them.
- D.Demerit points do not apply in construction zonesDemerit points apply to speeding offences in construction zones as they would elsewhere; nothing about the zone eliminates them.
