On a Sunday, you drive through a highway work zone. No workers or machines are in sight, but orange barrels shift traffic into a narrow lane. What should you do?
A approaches orange-and-white traffic barrels that shift the open travel path left into a narrower channel. Uneven pavement patches remain ahead; the card states that it is Sunday and no workers or equipment are visible.
Correct answer: Slow down and follow the barrels, because the narrow lanes and rough pavement are still hazards.
Why
Work zones stay hazardous because of narrow lanes, lane shifts, rough pavement, and sudden stops in traffic. Ohio law requires a speed that is safe for the surface and width of the road (ORC 4511.21). It also requires you to obey traffic control devices such as barrels and cones (ORC 4511.12). Keep extra space to the vehicle ahead, and be ready to stop suddenly.
