Werkzones
Navigate roadworks safely
Construction zones present unique challenges: narrowed lanes, changed traffic patterns, workers near traffic, and uneven surfaces. Patience and attention are essential.
Waarom het belangrijk is
Roadwork accidents kill both drivers and workers. Speed limits in construction zones exist because conditions are unpredictable and workers may be just feet from traffic.
Belangrijke acties

Obey all posted speed limits and signs
Watch for workers and construction vehicles
Merge early when lanes reduce
Expect sudden stops and lane changes
Keep safe distance from vehicles ahead
