Fines may be going way up for speeding in a Maryland work zone

Maryland leaders are working on a plan to significantly boost the fine for speeding in a work zone. Under the legislation, called the Maryland Road Worker Protection Act, drivers caught on camera speeding in a work zone will be fined $290, up from the current fine of $40. Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller said the legislation will “better protect the men and women who do the vital jobs of building and maintaining the roads we rely on every day.”
