What should you do when driving near road work zones

I get nervous driving around construction. I know there are special rules, but I’m not sure what they are. What should I know about driving in work zones?

Rob Shapiro · Updated on Jan 24, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Drivers need to be fully aware of how to drive in work zones. You don’t want to get pulled over in a construction zone—it’s expensive—and you certainly don’t want to harm anyone.

So, when driving through road work zones, you should:

Avoid all distractions

Slow down and adhere to posted speed limits and other signage

Try to avoid weaving

Keep a safe distance from other vehicles

Merge carefully

Plan ahead, if possible, to avoid any delays

Remain calm

While driving is top of mind, you should look for

car insurance coverage
