Road Work Ahead

Shape

Orange rectangle (sometimes a diamond)

Color

Orange background, black letters and border

What to do

Slow down, stay alert and be ready to slow down or stop. Watch for workers, equipment and signs directing you into other lanes, and obey posted work zone speed limits.

Where you see it

Placed on the roadside well before the work area begins.

Test trap

Do not wait to slow down until you see the workers; the sign is an early warning. Orange signs mean a temporary condition, so yellow-sign habits (speed, lanes) may not apply.

Memory tip: Orange = temporary work. Slow down before you see anyone.
