Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
You see this diamond-shaped sign with black symbols on an orange background beside the highway. What does the orange color tell you?

Correct answer: A construction or maintenance work area is ahead
Why
Colors let you read a sign before you can read its words. Orange marks temporary work zones, where lanes can shift or close and workers and equipment may be close to traffic. Slow down, watch for flaggers and lane shifts, and keep a lower speed until a sign shows the end of the work zone.
