Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
An orange diamond sign shows a black figure of a person with a shovel. What does this sign tell you?

Correct answer: Road workers may be on or near the road ahead
Why
In Virginia, the color orange marks a work zone and tells you to slow down and stay alert. Workers stand close to moving traffic, so a small mistake can injure or kill them. Obey the posted work zone speed limit, put your phone away, and follow flaggers and temporary signs.
