Tips for Driving Through Construction Zones

OBEY ALL SIGNS

  • Signs contain important information that warns motorists or provides them with essential information about the work ahead, traffic conditions, road/ramp closures and detours.

CONCENTRATE

  • Pay attention at all times. Don't be distracted by the radio or cell phones; don't eat or drink while driving.
  • Watch for workers, new signs, traffic signals, pavement markings, or uneven pavement.

SLOW DOWN

  • Drive at the posted reduced speed limit.
  • Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
  • Don't tailgate - sudden stops are common in construction zones.
