As you approach a road work zone, look ahead, slow to the speed limit posted for the zone, follow temporary signs and flaggers, and leave enough room to stop. Lanes may narrow, shift, or close, and traffic can stop with little warning. Stay alert until you pass the work-zone end sign; the layout and instructions at the site take precedence over general advice.
Before you leave: check conditions and allow extra time
- Check current traffic using a transportation-agency website, a traffic app, or radio before setting out.
- Allow extra time or choose another route if one is practical.
- If you need route information from your phone, check it before driving or when safely stopped. Do not read or handle it while moving.
How to approach a work zone
- Look well ahead. Watch for advance-warning signs, cones, barrels, work vehicles, workers, flaggers, lane markings, and queues. The pattern may change after the first warning sign.
- Slow to the speed limit posted for the work zone. Begin slowing in time to avoid braking abruptly. If no reduced work-zone speed is posted, follow the normal posted speed limit, while adjusting to conditions and obeying all signs.
- Follow lane instructions early. Move into the indicated lane when it is safe, rather than waiting until the closure point and making a sudden maneuver. Never cross cones or temporary markings to save time.
- Prepare to stop. Traffic may slow or stop suddenly, including when the work itself is not visible. Keep a safe gap and watch the vehicles ahead, not only the vehicle directly in front of you.
How to merge at a lane closure
Follow posted instructions and a flagger’s directions first. When no different instruction applies, the appropriate merge depends on traffic conditions:

| Traffic condition | What to do |
|---|---|
| Traffic is light and moving relatively fast | Merge early into the open lane when there is a safe gap. |
| Traffic is congested, moving slowly, and gaps have closed | Use a zipper merge: use both lanes up to the merge point, then take turns entering the open lane. |
A zipper merge is not permission to force your way in or pass a queue at speed. Match the slow traffic, take turns, and leave room for others to merge. If signs, cones, or a flagger direct a different pattern, obey the site’s direction.

While driving through the work area
- Keep a safe following distance; do not tailgate. There is no single following-distance number established for every work zone, and conditions such as speed, visibility, and road surface affect stopping room.
- Stay in your lane and avoid weaving, abrupt lane changes, or last-second braking.
- Keep your attention on the road and temporary traffic controls. Do not use a phone or other distraction while driving.
- Expect uneven pavement, narrowed lanes, shifted markings, equipment entering or leaving the roadway, and workers close to traffic.
- Use extra caution at night, when workers, barriers, and changes in the road can be harder to see.
- Continue following signs and controls even when workers are not immediately visible. Work can be intermittent or move along the road.
Give workers and work vehicles room
Watch where crews and equipment are positioned, and follow any direction to move over. If a work vehicle or other large vehicle is ahead, avoid cutting in front of it: larger vehicles need room to slow and may have limited visibility. State move-over laws differ; many apply when passing crews or official vehicles on the shoulder with flashing warning lights, but the specific legal requirement depends on the state and situation.

Know when the work zone ends
Do not return to your usual speed or change lanes just because the active work appears to be behind you. Keep following temporary controls until the work-zone end sign or other applicable instruction indicates the zone is over. Then resume normal driving only when the roadway and traffic conditions allow.

FHWA reports that in 2017, speed was a contributing factor in almost 29 percent of fatal work-zone crashes, and rear-end collisions accounted for 25 percent. These are historical figures for 2017, not current-year estimates. FHWA’s campaign phrase, “Drive like you work here,” is a useful reminder to treat the work area as a place where people are doing their jobs close to moving traffic.
