I think what happens in a lot of these cases is similar to what happened in the old tale of "the boy who cried wolf" which most of us heard as children.
You are driving down the Interstate at 65 or 70 when you see the "work zone 45 mph" signs. You see the orange cones. The concrete barriers. You begin 45 mph. 45 miles and an hour later, you still haven't seen any sign of construction or life for that matter. So knowing you are going to be late, you just figure they are not working on it yet. You speed up little by little and pretty soon you are into the 400 dollar ticket zone! about that time, you come to a 20 foot bridge that is being rebuilt. There's the construction! now you only have 45 more miles to go before you can resume your speed! Why do they close down a hundred miles of road to rebuild one little bridge?

Anyone who doesn't know the story about the boy and the wolf, just reply and I'll give you the readers digest condensed version! LOL
