Work zone safety
Construction and maintenance crews work close to live traffic. The G1 test expects you to know how to keep them, and yourself, safe in a work zone.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Obey the reduced speed limit posted through the work zone.
- ◆ Speeding fines are doubled in a construction zone when workers are present.
- ◆ Follow the directions of a traffic-control person and their STOP/SLOW paddle.
- ◆ Slow down and, where required, move over for roadside work vehicles.
- ◆ Watch for lane shifts, narrowed lanes, and sudden stops in traffic.
