I have been driving for USX for 2 months now. I have a question about the speed limits in inactive work zones. When driving on a 65 mph road for example and coming up on a non-active work zone ( lights not flashing on workzone lights and no workers present) with 55 mph posted speed limit signs, I seem to be the only trucker going 55 mph while everyone else blows by me at 65-70 mph. Is the posted work zone speed limit not in effect if the work zone is not active. Whilst I do not want to interrupt the flow of traffic I am not willing to get a ticket until I know.
