Payment of the fine and court (4) (5) (6) (7) costs to the clerk shall be considered as a plea of guilty for all purposes. If the offense charged shows a speed in excess of the speeds shown on the specific fine schedule the defendant shall appear for trial and may not pay the fine to the clerk before the trial date. If the offense occurred in a highway work zone, the fine established by subsection (1) or (2) of this section shall be doubled. All fines collected for speeding in a highway work zone in violation of KRS 189.390 shall be deposited into a separate trust and agency account within the Transportation Cabinet known as the "Highway Work Zone Safety Fund." The highway work zone safety fund shall be used exclusively by the Transportation Cabinet to hire or pay for enhanced law enforcement of traffic laws within highway work zones. If the offense occurred in an area near a school where flasher lights have been installed and are flashing, and a speed limit has been set pursuant to KRS 189.336, the fine established by subsection (1) or (2) of this section shall be doubled.
