NYS: New Law Cracks Down On Work Zone Speeders.

Motorists who ignore work zone speed limits should take heed now that New York state has a new law that cracks down on speeding and other traffic infractions committed in construction zones.
Governor Pataki signed the Work Zone Safety Act into law. After three construction workers were killed in May during a chain-reaction crash at a work site on Interstate 81.
Under the new law, anyone convicted of two or more speeding violations in a work zone would face a 60-day license suspension. The bill also requires a police presence in major work zones. It's not the first time state police will be on the lookout for motorists who are speeding through work zones.
Last year troopers used radar to record speeds in construction areas. That resulted in more than 16-hundred tickets being issued.
