Bill > SB2183

This bill amends North Dakota's traffic penalty code by increasing the fine for speeding in highway construction zones. Specifically, the legislation raises the base fine for speeding in a construction zone from $80 to $150 for violations between 1-10 miles per hour over the posted limit. For speeds over 10 miles per hour above the limit, the fine will now be $150 plus $2 for each additional mile per hour over the limit. The bill clarifies that these enhanced penalties only apply when construction workers are present at the site and when the speed limit sign specifically indicates a "Minimum Fee" of $150. This change aims to create stronger financial deterrents for drivers who exceed speed limits in active construction zones, potentially improving worker safety by encouraging more cautious driving in these high-risk areas.
