How should you behave in a construction/work zone?

• A. Slow down, follow posted signs, and watch for workers and equipment.
• B. Park on the shoulder.
• C. Ignore signs.
• D. Speed through as quickly as possible.

Answer: (A)

Construction zones are designed to protect workers and drivers as the road layout changes. The best behavior is to slow down, follow posted signs, and watch for workers and equipment. Lower speeds give you more time to react to lane shifts, suddenly appearing workers, or equipment entering the roadway, and the signs tell you about lane closures and speed limits so you can adjust your driving accordingly. Parking on the shoulder is unsafe and usually illegal in work zones. Ignoring signs or speeding through creates clear hazards for everyone. By staying alert and compliant, you reduce risk and help traffic move more safely.
