if you go over 15mph it is a class C misdemeanor in AR which carries up to a $100 fine for first time offenders. The judge, at his or her discretion can impose additional penalties such as driving school or license suspension if you have a particularly bad record. Speeding in a construction zone carries double the penalty at the judge's discretion.
You (and the judge) have the option of 10 days in jail. This would suck.
Court fees vary by the court, but could be as much as $70.
Plea it down to a failure to obey traffic device. It's no points and to get off scott free, you have to fight it the whole way, which will cost you time off work.

Depends on how cool the cop is. I've gotten a $90 ticket for doing 42 in a 20, in front of a school and in a construction zone.
He just gave me "failure to obey road sign"
I've also gotten a $300 ticket for 58 in a 40.
It really depends on what he decides to write you up for. He can nail you for "reckless" or "careless" and that really sucks.

Info should be listed on back of your traffic ticket. If not, call municipal court and ask the clerk.
