Construction-zone enhancement requires workers present (CA)
Legal basis
VC 22362 imposes the construction-zone speed reduction only when workers are present. Signage alone does not sustain the enhanced charge when the zone is unattended.
How our AI uses this defense
When your case facts fit this theory, our AI adapts the template below to your specific citation, courthouse, and evidence. Every field is filled in from your actual ticket — citation number, violation code, courthouse, and officer details.
At the time of the stop, no construction workers were present in the zone. The dashcam or site photographs confirm an unattended zone. The enhanced-fine element of VC 22362 is not established; the ordinary speed statute applies instead.
