UHP Cracking Down on Construction Zone Speeders David Wells Senior Web Producer 11:31 AM MDT, June 8, 2009 SALT LAKE CITY - Drivers who speed through construction zones in Utah have been subject to double fines for years, but that isn't enough to deter many motorists. A two-week study revealed the average speed in a 55 mph construction zone is 75 mph. "We've had scenarios in the past where people get in crashes, they blow through those barriers and they hurt people and equipment that are out on the freeway," said Sgt. Jeff Nigbur of the Utah Highway Patrol. FOX 13's Nineveh Dinha reports.
