You see an orange diamond sign that shows a person with a shovel. What should you expect, and what should you do?
Correct answer: A work zone is ahead, so slow down and watch for workers and lane changes.
Why
In Oregon, orange signs and cones mark work zones. Workers and machines can be very close to your lane, and lanes can narrow, shift or merge, so slow down, stay alert and give workers room. You are expected to yield to workers and to follow the temporary signs, cones and flaggers that guide you through the zone.
