Construction Zone Ticket Penalties

There are numerous traffic violations that can occur in a construction zone. The most common violation is speeding. In Illinois, the speed limit in a construction zone is 45 mph. Those who are found guilty of a first offense for speeding in a construction zone are fined $375. The penalty for a second offense is $1,000 and a license suspension of 90-days.

In addition to speeding, drivers can also be cited for failing to yield and other construction zone traffic violations. Paying the traffic ticket results in a traffic conviction that goes on your public record. This causes points to be assessed to your driver’s license, which can translate into higher insurance premiums. In some cases, particularly those involving a past history of traffic violations, your driver’s license may be suspended.
