45 mph work zones on the 90 & 190: I shake my head in disbelief that people still speed in the work zones, then tailgate me like I'm the a******.

“I certainly don't want a ticket (fines double in work zones)....can't afford it. So disrespectful to workers in those areas. Also wonder how many people actually get tickets...could generate a lot of money for NYS...hmmm”
