We might already be doing that in the states.

I drove through South Carolina recently and noticed signs that stated the penalty for speeding in a work zone was $200 and 30 days. On the surface, you might think that's reasonable to keep road workers safe.

But there are long stretches of highway marked as work zones with NO sign of workers, equipment, or construction. Nothing. And state law says workers do not need to be present. These were for all intents and purposes speed zones where getting caught got you 30 days in jail, and judging by the cars left on the side of the road (I counted 6 on one highway) it looks like they're enforcing it regularly.
