Remember to move over a lane, if safely possible, or slow down significantly whenever encountering roadside vehicles displaying red, white, blue, amber or green lights, including maintenance and construction vehicles in work zones.

Remember too that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of a person's driver license.
