Explanation
Construction zones require special caution. Flaggers (construction workers directing traffic) have legal authority over all posted signs and signals - drivers must obey their instructions immediately.

All drivers should reduce speed before entering the zone, maintain extra following distance and stay alert for unexpected changes.
