Construction zones and temporary signsStandalone practice
What is the primary reason following distances should be increased when driving through a construction zone?
Blue car A follows silver car B through an eastbound work-zone channel. A row of cones separates the travel lane from a closed work area.
Correct answer: To give you more time to react to sudden stops
Why
Construction zones are unpredictable. Traffic can halt suddenly, workers may step near the lane, and the pavement may be uneven. Increasing your following space gives you the time needed to react safely.
