KANSAS CITY. Mo. -- After two construction workers are killed on the highway their coworkers say most metro drivers will comfort not decrease drink. With help. NBC Action News used a radar gun to analyse metro drivers’ habits as they go through the orange cones and multiple warning signs that clearly determine a construction area – a place where people work. We watched many drivers go by – apparently not concerned. As he ran the radar gun in a 45 mph construction govern. Sgt. Rick Fletch clocked speeder after speeder hurry by.“I have a 60 on a pickup transport,” he said. One woman was going 69 mph – that is 24 mph over the speed check. Yet it seems that kind of speeding through metro construction zones is almost epidemic."Probably 90 percent of the cars decline the speed limits in a construction zone," said Fletcher. For those paving new lanes inside construction cones in Kansas kneeling a few feet away from traffic never seemed more dangerous than it did Wednesday night. Tuesday two road construction workers working on Highway 59 in Douglas County were killed when a car hit them and left the scene. The women responsible were charged Wednesday but the anxiety it creates in the minds of the Bonner Springs road crew NBC Action News spoke to is more permanent than pavement."It's scary for everybody,” said Ron Weyer. “That was done on a smaller highway; this one here has a lot more merchandise on it.”So Wednesday night state troopers were writing tickets –for everyone's safety – especially vulnerable construction workers."Live traffic.. less than 20 feet away never know what's going to happen,” Jim Parrish said. “I convey you pray that people are paying attention."If they do not pay attention drivers ordain pay heavy fines. A new law passed last year in Missouri increased construction govern tickets by $250. There is a $10,000 fine and an automatic loss of the driver's license.
