The other popular thing is to add a multiplier if you are in a construction zone, doubled or tripled. Even if no one is working, they're all home snug in their beds (other than the cop and the three drivers on the lonely stretch of road), drift over the number on that orange posted sign and it's not $200, it's $400 or $600. In the west these can go on for miles of coned-lane interstate, and at 40 or 45 it is no fun.
Don't get me wrong, you SHOULD slow down in a construction zone, and particularly so when you're actually in the area where they are working, but 45 for 6 miles when they are working in a 200-yard area? Ugh. In that case it's revenue enhancement.
