Explanation
Arrow panels are electronic traffic control devices used in work zones to warn drivers of lane closures and guide them safely through or around the area. A flashing arrow indicates the direction drivers should merge, while other patterns-such as sequential arrows or caution modes (a straight line of flashing lights or blinking lights at the four corners)-are used depending on the specific conditions. Always reduce your speed, follow the indicated direction, and be prepared for sudden stops or changes in traffic patterns.
