Nothig wrong with that statement. I could be surveying an area for upcoming construction work. So there would be no construction but to me and my crew it is a construction zone.

I have also passed many places along the road with construction signs up but not 1 piece if equipment and seen tickets being issued for exceeding the work zone speed limit.

DOTD specifically spells out speed drop zones on state road projects. See Speed Limit notes on the attached pdf link.

Temporary Traffic Control

If project being done under EBR DPW Field Engineering, they allow the speed drops for the entire project where DOTD does not allow. Cops love construction zones for this reason. Dealt with some construction workers in the field that would tell me that cops would as them to hurry up and put up their reduced speed signs for work that day so they can give out tickets.
