I wonder if it's a real construction zone, or if they set it all up.

I drive faster than most, but I always slow down for construction zones.

That's cheating. They should have to catch me fair and square.

Considering the number of road construction workers that have been killed around here lately I am all for it.

SLOW THE HELL DOWN IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONES!

Some poor sap earning a living doesn't need to get killed because someone else was in a hurry.

edited to add. i slow down in construction zones, if not for me and my vehicles saftey, but also for those who are working in said zones.

I believe you. Most of us speed at some time or another. That is just one of the worst places to do it.

I saw this in Hawaii about 5 or 6 years ago.

It appeared to be actual construction, but there were a couple "workers" with orange vests, hardhats, and radar guns.

The king must have his taxes.

if it is a fake construction zone, i wonder if they issue a ticket for double the fine like they do in real work zones.

I don't see how they could and make it stick in court. But most people would probably just pay the fine and not fight it. I think most construction zone tickets around here are "must appear" tickets.
