April 3rd is the start of Work Zone Safety Week so please remember to slow down, watch the signs carefully, wear your seat belt and keep 100 percent of your attention focused on the road while driving in a construction zone. Fines in construction zones are $375 for the first offense and $1000 for subsequent offenses. Fines for hitting a construction worker can be as much as $10,000 and 14 years in jail.
