Thank goodness!!!

as a person who works on and runs some major highway projects in the NYC area Im glad to see that Fla is doing what they are doing!!!! I wish we could get the troopers in NY to take the same action.

We post huge orange signs, place rumble strips, and warn about speeding through work zones via radio ads etc. and yet the traveling public ignores the signs and more often than not exceeds the speed limit posted by a large margin.

Think about physics for a sec. 3000 lb car at 65mph vs. 200 lb construction worker. Or better yet 70000 lbs semi at 75 mph vs. a group of construction workers. Who do you think fares better?

Do you really save that much time by speeding through a work zone, and endangering me, my fellow workers and friends?

I have seen first hand the result of a speeding car lose control and enter a work zone. It was not a pretty sight at all.

ENTRAPMENT? hardly.......

Additionally a work zone is not only a work zone when workers are present!!!!!!! The conditions of the road have been changed as a result of the work, perhaps aligment changes, rough pavement, etc.
