Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You enter a highway work zone where cones close the right lane. Workers stand in the closed lane about 500 feet ahead. The closed lane near you is empty, and only a few cars are in the open lane. What should you do?
A highway work-zone overview has two same-direction lanes. Cones close the right lane, which is empty nearby. Two silver cars occupy the open lane, and two workers stand farther ahead in the closed lane. The card states that the workers are about 500 feet ahead. No learner car position or response route is shown.
Correct answer: Drive only in the open lane, slow down, obey the signs, and be ready to stop
Why
In South Carolina, a driver endangers a highway worker when workers are in the work zone and the driver uses a lane that is not open to traffic or does not obey the work-zone traffic controls. The offense brings a mandatory fine and points on your driving record. In every work zone, increase your following distance, watch the traffic around you, and move over in your lane to give workers and machines extra room.
