Being completely serious, I am just curious to know if Construction Zone speed limits are in effect 24 hours a day until they are eventually removed.
The reason that I ask is that a few years ago, I commuted to college on RT 2 in Central Mass. There was quite of bit of highway construction going on...but at night I noticed that other drivers weren't slowing even a little while driving through these zones. I generally keep my speed on the highway between 5-10 over. These zones had a limit of 45 MPH to which I responded with 50 MPH on cruise control. Cars were whizzing past me at normal (excessive) speeds. I assume that to be safe, one should assume they are 24 hours a day limitations.
Also, after the job had been completed the signs remained there for a good 4-6 weeks. I'm saying that there were NO construction vehicles in the area during the day or at night. Should I assume someone forgot to take the signs down or continue to be a pylon in the highway for everyone else?

If the sign is there, obey it. There still may be structural issues that are being finished for example so even though it looks like there's nothing going on it still may be unsafe.
