In Connecticut, anyone convicted of speeding, disobeying traffic control devices, using an improper lane, or endangering a highway worker within a work zone can face fines of up to $1,000, can be assessed points against their driver license, and may be required to complete the driver retraining program. In addition, distracted driving fines are doubled for anyone convicted of illegally using a hand-held cellular phone or mobile electronic device while driving in a work zone.

10. When changing lanes, you can check your blind spot by:

Using the inside rearview mirror.

Turning your head and looking over your shoulder.

Using your side mirror.

Even if your vehicle is properly equipped with mirrors, there are blind spots that cannot be seen by using the mirrors. Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to check these areas.

11. An approved rear-facing child restraint system is required for any child:

Weighing 25 pounds or less.

One year of age, weighing 30 pounds or less.

Under one year of age, weighing 20 pounds or less.

State law requires children under the age of 16 to be secured in proper child restraint and safety systems while riding in a vehicle. The required child restraint system for a child who is under the age of one and weighs 20 pounds or less is an approved rear-facing child restraint system.

12. Regulatory signs are:

Green.

Yellow.

White.

Regulatory signs inform drivers of specific laws that must be obeyed. Displayed laws may be about traffic direction, lane use, turning, speed, parking, or special situations. Regulatory signs are commonly white squares or rectangles with black, red, or green letters or symbols.

13. If you are facing a green traffic light but the intersection ahead is blocked by traffic, you should:

Turn left and find another route.

Stay out of the intersection until traffic clears.

Follow the other vehicles and enter the intersection.

Even if you are facing a green traffic light, do not start across the intersection if there are other vehicles blocking your way. If you are caught in the intersection when the light changes to red, your vehicle will block cross traffic. You can get a ticket for blocking an intersection.

14. If you see orange construction signs and cones on a freeway, you must:

Slow down because the lane ends ahead.

Be prepared for workers and equipment ahead.

Change lanes and maintain your current speed.

As you enter a work zone, signs and message boards will warn you of workers, slow-moving equipment, and/or closed lanes ahead. You should reduce your speed and be prepared to slow down or stop.

15. There's an approaching emergency vehicle using its flashing lights and siren. You should:

Slow down and keep moving.

Maintain your speed.

Pull over to the right and stop.

You must yield the right-of-way to police vehicles, fire engines, ambulances, or other emergency vehicles using sirens, air horns, or red or blue flashing lights. When you see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching from any direction, you must pull over to the right edge of the road, or as near to the right edge as possible, and stop your vehicle.

Wait until it is safe to do so, then gradually re-enter the roadway.
