Explanation
Black-and-orange Detour signs are posted when a road is temporarily closed due to construction or maintenance. These signs mark the beginning of an alternate route that directs drivers around the closure. Detour signs may be rectangular or diamond-shaped, and they include arrows to guide traffic back to the original route. When you see a detour sign, do not continue on the closed road - follow the posted directions to safely bypass the work zone.
