On a Sunday, you enter a highway work zone. A sign shows a work zone speed limit of 45 mph; the normal limit is 60 mph. You see cones and narrow lanes, but no workers. What should you do?
Correct answer: Keep to 45 mph or less until you pass the END ROAD WORK sign
Why
A work zone can have lane shifts, rough pavement, equipment and sudden stops at any hour. The guide also asks you to increase your following distance, remove distractions and be ready to stop. Take extra care at night, whether or not you see workers.
