Las Vegas Work Zone Traffic Tickets Means Double The Penalty The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that work zone fatalities claim three lives daily in the United States. It may surprise that, more than 80% of these fatalities are not the workers, but are the drivers and passengers of the motor vehicles. Fast fact: a car driving at 60 miles per hour travels 88 feet per second, so, if you are driving 60 miles per hour past a sign that reads: “Road Work Ahead”, you will reach that work zone is just 17 seconds. It is understandable that drivers become frustrated when they must unexpectedly slow down due to Las Vegas construction delays, Las Vegas construction zone work, and other unforeseen holdups, but it’s important to remember that these instances are not there to inconvenience you; they are a necessary part of improving the Las Vegas roadways for future easy and flow of traffic. So, give yourself extra time during your commute so that you do not feel rushed when you are attempting to reach your final destination. Remember: Nevada law DOUBLES the penalty for speeding in a construction zone or speeding in a work zone, so you may end up paying up to $1,000 for a traffic ticket in Las Vegas. If you have already recently received such a ticket, and you would like the opportunity to discuss your options with an experienced attorney, call our Ticket Office today at (702) 382-2000....

Even before that appearance, he or she will still be required to deposit the full bail amount (including warrant fees) or the warrant will still be in effect until recalled by the judge. Another way to resolve the traffic warrant is to contact an attorney to complete these actions for you. Or, a person may choose to pay the full bail amount listed on the notice of warrant. It will not be valid if the complete amount is not paid. And the warrant will not be taken care of until the full payment is posted and the check or money order has been cleared by the financial institution. This method of resolution can be done by physically going to the Las Vegas Court House, to the Las Vegas Justice Court Traffic Office (located on the first floor of the Regional Justice Center), or by using the online payment system.
