Explanation
Orange diamond-shaped work zone signs with black lettering or symbols alert drivers to upcoming construction or maintenance activities. These signs warn that road conditions may change, potentially including lane shifts, reduced speeds, uneven surfaces, or workers present near traffic lanes. Drivers must immediately reduce speed, increase following distance, and prepare to obey flaggers or temporary traffic controls. While some work zones may have additional restrictions (like lane closures or detours), the basic orange warning signs primarily indicate potential hazards rather than complete prohibitions.
