Explanation
Work zones are areas where construction, maintenance, or utility activities are taking place on or near the roadway. These zones may include equipment, workers, and lane shifts that can distract drivers or create unexpected hazards. It is critical to stay alert and be ready to respond to sudden changes, such as lane closures, slow-moving vehicles, or flagger instructions. Do not slow down unnecessarily just to observe the work-this can cause rear-end collisions. Also, avoid weaving between lanes unless directed. Follow all posted signs (typically black-on-orange) and flagger signals, and maintain a safe, steady speed consistent with surrounding traffic.
