What should you do when workers are on the roadway?

• A. Change lanes or move to the edge of your lane
• B. Maintain your lane and honk
• C. Speed up to pass
• D. Stop in the road

Answer: (A)

When workers are on the roadway, create a safe buffer by shifting out of their lane or moving toward the edge of your lane. This space protects the workers and gives you room to react if something changes suddenly. Do it safely: signal before changing lanes, check mirrors and blind spots, and merge only when it’s safe. Slowing down and following any posted signs or flagger directions is also important in work zones. Honking, staying in your lane, speeding up to pass, or stopping in the roadway increases risk, so those actions aren’t appropriate.
