I drive through construction zones. Sometimes you can go for miles through a marked construction zone and not see any workers, trucks or other equipment. In other areas there is a lot of traffic & construction activity, in those areas I can see an argument about cruise control. A blind statement stating it is dangerous to use cruise control in all construction zones doesn't make sense. You have to be aware of your surroundings and drive accordingly. I don't think anybody sets the cruise for 80 MPH and blindly plows through a construction zone, if they do they shouldn't be driving at all. It is not extremely dangerous to drive through a construction zone with cruise on. It is extremely dangerous not to be aware of your surroundings while driving.
