Passing target: 80% (32/40)
On a two-lane road, a work crew closes your lane. A flagger turns the paddle to SLOW and waves you into the oncoming lane. What should you do?
A approaches a two-lane work zone where cones close its lane. A west-facing flagger holds an official SLOW paddle and beckons toward the open oncoming lane. A separate detail makes the paddle and gesture visible.
Correct answer: Drive slowly past the crew in the lane that the flagger shows you.
Why
Work zones change the normal traffic path, so flaggers and orange work-zone signs tell you where and when to go. Slow down, keep your full attention on the road, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, because most work-zone crashes are rear-end crashes. Workers can be only a few feet from your car, so be ready to stop at any time.
