Construction & Temporary Signs
Traffic Control Paddle Sign
A traffic control person uses STOP or SLOW to direct vehicles through a work area.
What to Do
Obey the displayed face and the person’s instructions; be prepared to wait.
A Detail to Remember
The two faces carry different instructions. SLOW is not permission to ignore the traffic control person.
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.
