Construction zone signs
Temporary signs in work zones are orange so they stand out from permanent black-and-yellow warnings. Knowing them keeps workers and you safe.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Construction and temporary-condition signs are orange.
- ◆ Obey reduced speed limits posted through the work zone.
- ◆ Speeding fines are doubled in a construction zone when workers are present.
- ◆ Follow the directions of traffic-control people and their STOP/SLOW paddles.
- ◆ Watch for lane shifts, uneven surfaces, and workers close to the lane.
