CDL · Work zone signs
What is one thing you should do while driving through a road construction zone?
Correct answer: Be alert for places where the pavement drops off.
Answer options
- ASpeed up to get out of the construction zone sooner
- BBe alert for places where the pavement drops off Correct
- CDrive with only your parking lights turned on
Why
Construction work often leaves lane edges where the pavement suddenly drops to a lower level, and running a wheel over one can pull you off the road or make a tall vehicle lean dangerously. Drive slowly and carefully through the zone, and remember that parking lights are not meant for driving.
