A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO IMPOSE A PENALTY OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR SPEEDING IN CERTAIN HIGHWAY WORK ZONES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-141 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( j2)	A person who drives a motor vehicle in a highway work zone at a speed greater than the speed limit set and posted under G.S. 20-141(d)(1) is responsible for an infraction and is required to pay a penalty of one hundred dollars ($100.00).  A 'highway work zone' is the area between the first sign that informs motorists of the existence of a work zone on a highway and the last sign that informs motorists of the end of the work zone.  This subsection applies only if a sign posted at the beginning of the highway work zone states the penalty for speeding in the work zone."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective October 1, 1991, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
