Understanding Your
Washington Ticket –
Speeding in a
Construction Zone
Receiving a
Washington State
speeding ticket is
an expensive affair.
However, if you are
cited for speeding
in a construction
zone, the fines
automatically
double. If found
guilty of the
infraction, not only
will you have to pay
for the ticket, but
it is likely your
insurance rates will
increase
dramatically. If
you’ve recently been
cited with a
Washington traffic
ticket for speeding
in a construction
zone, it is in your
best interests to
talk to a qualified
WA speeding ticket
attorney, if you
plan on fighting the
infraction.
In the state of
Washington a
construction zone is
anywhere on or next
to a public roadway
|
|
|
|
where maintenance,
construction, or
repairs to the road
are being done.
Speed limits in
these zones are
usually lower than
the typical rate of
speed so as to
protect the safety
of the people
working alongside
the road. Laws that
prohibit speeding
within these zones
are taken very
seriously, and even
if you are only
travelling a couple
of miles per hour
over the posted
limit it is possible
you could receive a
Washington State
speeding ticket.
Sometimes a
construction zone
can also include an
area where there is
currently no actual
work being done, but
speeds have been
reduced because it
might be dangerous
to travel at the
normal rate of
speed. This
sometimes leads to
confusion with
drivers who, when
they don’t see a
construction crew,
assume it is okay to
travel at the
regular speed limit.
However, if you plan
on pleading “not
guilty” to the
infraction, it makes
sense to retain an
experienced
Washington State
traffic lawyer.
Fines assessed for a
Washington speeding
ticket issued in a
construction zone
cannot be suspended,
waived, or reduced.
This underscores the
importance of
talking to a WA
traffic attorney
today, and making
sure that you have
someone working with
you who will fight
to have your ticket
dismissed.
