LIHU‘E — The Kaua‘i Police Department is reminding residents to follow construction zone speed limits at all times and not only during construction hours.
“Possible lane closures, traffic delays or sudden stops can create hazardous driving conditions in these areas, even when construction is not actively occurring,” says Lt. Mark Scribner of the Traffic Safety Unit.
“It is important that drivers observe the reduced speed limits at all hours of the day or night.”
Police are warning motorists that officers will be enforcing these speed limits.
The fine for speeding in a construction zone is $297.
“For your safety and the safety of those around you, please obey the posted speed limit and exercise caution when driving through construction areas,” Scribner adds.
Speed limits at each construction zone are set by the state Department of Transportation Highways Division based on the project and location.
