Construction zone areas can be hazardous because of changes in roadway design. See also: With a few exceptions, temporary warning signs for construction, maintenance and utility work zones are diamond shaped, having a black symbol or message on an orange background. Pay attention to where work zones begin and end and any reduced speed postings. Slow down whether or not workers are present. Do not tailgate. Be alert for sudden lane changes or shifts. Abide by the posted speed limit in construction zones.
