Passing target: 80% (20/25)
You enter a freeway work zone. Traffic is still moving, but the lanes are narrower and the pavement is rough. How should you set your following distance?
Blue A follows silver B in a freeway work zone. Realistic cones narrow the road edge and small surface patches represent rough pavement.
Correct answer: Leave more space than usual, because traffic ahead can stop suddenly in a work zone.
Why
Work zones combine narrow lanes, rough surfaces, equipment and people who work close to traffic, and visibility can be poor, especially at night. Nevada law requires you to slow down when special hazards exist, and the penalty for speeding can be doubled in a work zone. If you are short of time, plan another route instead of rushing through.
