When driving in work zones, what should you do?

The city is about to construct a new highway near my house. Construction will be heavy, but it’s still my fastest way to get to work. What rules should I adhere to when driving through a work zone?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Uh-oh! Sorry to hear about the added traffic near your home. Hopefully, you’ll have a clear path to work soon.

When driving in work zones, you should:

Drive slowly and don’t tailgate

Avoid distractions

Comply with directions from flaggers

Obey posted signage (slow speed, sharp turn, etc.)

Use signals properly

Expect delays

Work zones are locations where construction occurs near a road. You can tell you’re entering a work zone via digital and/or physical signage or flashing flights.

Penalties such as speeding and DUIs come with steeper punishments when driving near construction. Vigilance will ensure everyone, including construction workers, remains safe.
