Explanation
A common cause of rear-end collisions in work zones is driving at a speed that is either slower or faster than the flow of traffic. Work zones often have reduced space for maneuvering, leaving little room to react if traffic suddenly slows down. To stay safe, always follow posted signs, watch for traffic control devices like cones or flaggers, and maintain a steady speed that matches the flow of traffic - unless directed otherwise. Avoid abrupt changes in speed and be prepared to stop at any time.
