Why should you leave extra following space through a work zone?
Correct answer: Traffic can slow suddenly, and workers or lane shifts may appear.
Why
Leave room to see beyond the vehicle ahead and respond smoothly to queues, changed lane paths, workers and equipment. Watch the controls and brake early when needed. Reassess the gap as traffic changes; do not close it deliberately to prevent a safe merge.
