Missouri construction zone speed limit sign warning of doubled fines
Fines for speeding in a Missouri work zone can be double the normal amount — even without workers present.

Missouri work zones are protected by strict speeding laws — and the consequences for ignoring them can be costly.

You don't have to see workers on the road for the penalty to apply. If signs are posted, the zone is active.


🚧 What the Law Says:

  • Fines are automatically doubled in posted work zones

  • Points go on your license

  • Some counties require a mandatory court appearance

  • No leniency just because workers weren't visible


⚖️ Legal Options for Your Ticket:

An attorney can often help amend the charge to a non-moving violation —

 avoiding points and higher insurance rates.

You may not need to go to court —

and in many cases, you can resolve the issue entirely online.
