What to Do

Drive cautiously and watch for temporary controls and changing surface conditions.

A Detail to Remember

The worker-with-shovel symbol is a general work warning; other orange signs explain the specific conditions.

Understanding Construction & Temporary Signs

Work zones can change the route, road surface and available lanes. Read the sequence of signs together and watch for traffic control people, workers and equipment beyond the first warning.
