construction zones
Active roadwork sections
Construction zones are sections of roadway where work is being performed—repairs, expansion, or new building.
They're marked by signs, cones, and reduced speed limits.
Fines for traffic violations typically double in construction zones: Slow down—we're entering a construction zone.
The term extends to any area where building is underway.
