- A As high as $5,000
- B As high as $500
- C As high as $1,000
- D As high as $10,000
Show answer
A. As high as $5,000
Because work-zone fines are doubled, some can reach $5,000. Slowing down and putting the phone away is far cheaper, and it protects the workers.

- D The road ahead has just reopened after construction

An ARDOT crew is slowly moving along the highway painting stripes, stopping now and then. How does Arkansas treat this area?
- A As a mobile work zone where fines also double
- B As normal traffic, because there are no barrels
- C As a work zone only if a flagger is present
- D As a work zone only after it stays a week
Show answer
A. As a mobile work zone where fines also double
A mobile work zone is short-term work that moves, such as striping, removing debris or patching potholes. Arkansas treats mobile zones the same as standard zones, so fines double there too.
