In what type of area are drivers given double fines for violations?

• A. On highways
• B. In residential areas
• C. A Safe Corridor and/or in a construction/work zone area
• D. In school zones only

Answer: (C)

Double fines are imposed in Safe Corridors and in construction or work zone areas primarily to enhance safety and encourage compliance with traffic laws in these high-risk locations. Safe Corridors are designated stretches of highway that have seen a higher incidence of accidents or violations, and doubling the fines serves as a deterrent against unsafe driving behaviors. Similarly, construction or work zones are areas where workers are present, and the additional fines highlight the importance of protecting both the workers and drivers by promoting attentiveness and caution in these environments. The increased penalties are aimed at reducing the likelihood of accidents by making drivers more aware of their responsibilities in these more dangerous situations.
