Are workers required to be present to enforce posted speed limits in construction zones according to regulation 11-605.1a?

The regulation 11-605.1a states that enforcement of posted speed limits in construction zones does not necessitate the physical presence of workers. This means that drivers are required to adhere to these speed limits regardless of whether workers are present on-site. The intent behind this regulation is to ensure safety in construction zones, where hazards could exist even in the absence of workers, making it essential for drivers to comply with posted limits at all times.

This approach also allows for more consistent enforcement since speed limits remain applicable without needing worker supervision. It fosters a culture of compliance and safety that protects both road users and construction personnel.
