Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
On a two-lane road, you pass an orange diamond sign that reads ROAD WORK AHEAD. Soon after, a worker with a shovel stands on the right shoulder, close to the edge of your lane. What should you do as you pass the worker?
Correct answer: Slow down, and move to the left part of your lane to give the worker more room
Why
Orange is the color for road work warnings, and these signs warn of workers, flaggers, detours, lane closures, slow equipment or rough pavement ahead. Work-zone crashes injure and kill drivers as well as road workers. In a work zone, reduce speed, keep extra following room, be ready to stop suddenly, and keep away from workers and machines.
