I had never heard of this before, so I did a Google search, and it is correct, except for in a legally posted school zone.
"(b) For moving violations involving unlawful speed, the fines are as follows:
For speed exceeding the limit by: Fine:
1-5 m.p.h..........Warning
6-9 m.p.h..........$25
10-14 m.p.h..........$100
15-19 m.p.h..........$150
20-29 m.p.h..........$175
30 m.p.h. and above..........$250
(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), a person cited for exceeding the speed limit by up to 5 m.p.h. in a legally posted school zone will be fined $50. A person exceeding the speed limit in a school zone or designated school crossing shall pay a fine double the amount listed in paragraph (b)."
