Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 28-710 – State highway work zone safety; civil penalty; fund

A. In a state highway work zone as defined in section 28-652 that is designated as a state highway work zone by traffic control devices indicating the beginning and end of the state highway work zone and in which workers are not present, a person shall not drive a vehicle at a speed that is greater than the speed allowed by traffic control devices.
B. In a state highway work zone as defined in section 28-652 that is designated as a state highway work zone by traffic control devices indicating the beginning and end of the state highway work zone and in which workers are present, a person shall not drive a vehicle at a speed that is greater than the speed allowed by traffic control devices. If a person is found responsible for a civil traffic violation under this subsection, the person is subject to a civil penalty equal to the amount of the civil penalty for the same speeding violation committed in a state highway work zone in which workers are not present and shall pay an additional assessment equal to the amount of that civil penalty. The court shall collect the additional assessment at the same time the court collects the civil penalty. Partial payments of the total amount due pursuant to this subsection shall be divided according to the proportion that the civil penalty, the surcharges levied pursuant to sections 12-116.01 and 12-116.02 and the additional assessment imposed pursuant to this subsection represent of the total amount due. The court and the department shall treat failure to pay the additional assessment imposed pursuant to this subsection in the same manner as failure to pay a civil penalty, including taking action against the person's driver license or permit or privilege to drive pursuant to sections 28-1601, 28-3153 and 28-3305.
C. A state highway work zone safety fund is established consisting of monies deposited pursuant to subsection D, paragraph 1 of this section. The governor's office of highway safety shall administer the fund. The monies in the fund are continuously appropriated. Monies in the fund shall be used to establish and maintain a public education campaign for highway work zone safety.
D. If a person is found responsible for a violation of subsection B of this section in a justice court or the superior court, the court shall transmit monies received to pay the additional assessment to the county treasurer. If a person is found responsible for a violation of subsection B of this section in a municipal court, the court shall transmit the monies received to pay the additional assessment to the city treasurer. Notwithstanding section 28-1554, the city or county treasurer shall transmit the monies received to pay the additional assessment to the state treasurer. The state treasurer shall deposit the monies received to pay the additional assessment as follows:
1. 1. Fifty per cent in the state highway work zone safety fund established by this section.
2. 2. Fifty per cent in the state highway fund established by section 28-6991.
