Syracuse (WSYR-TV) – The speed limit in a highway construction zone is often reduced in order to accommodate work crews. But can you legally drive according to the normal speed limit when no one is working on the site?
According to Gene Cilento of the Department of Transportation, drivers should follow the construction speed limit.
During inactive periods, there may be conditions you need to slow down for, such as uneven road surfaces, raised joints, narrow lanes, or temporary lane markings. Work zone limits are established according to expected site conditions.
