Explanation
Trying to pass or beat a tractor-trailer to a single-lane construction zone is highly dangerous. Cutting in front of a tractor-trailer removes their safety cushion, increasing the risk of accidents. It's safer to slow down and merge behind the tractor-trailer, which only takes a few extra seconds but significantly reduces the risk of accidents, especially in construction zones.
