Q: When road work is not active, do you have to still drive at the reduced work zone speed limit or will you be ticketed for driving the normal speed limit? Thank you!

A: Sgt. Jon A. Seeber, public information officer for the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office, answered directly and simply. "Yes, they are still required to reduce their speed.....active and not active."

So please pack you patience and slow down through work zones all the time. Thank you for your question.
