Temporary Lane Shift Sign
An orange arrow directs traffic around a temporary obstruction or lane closure.

What to Do
Reduce speed and follow the arrow into the available path when safe.
A Detail to Remember
The orange background identifies a temporary condition, unlike a permanent black-and-white direction sign.
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.
