If you are in the lane nearest to the stopped vehicle displaying flashing lights, you must also change lanes if safe to do so. 

## do 

## Space margins and speed control 

Slow down and leave space when passing vehicles with flashing lights on the sides of roads. Change lanes to provide safe space margins if it is safe to do so. 

## Construction zones 

Road crews work throughout the year to maintain and improve our roads. 

Despite construction zone signs and traffic control persons, crashes still occur in construction zones, mainly because some drivers don’t pay attention. 

## see 

Scan ahead  — look for construction zones ahead and be prepared to obey traffic control devices within the zone. 

Pay attention at night  — road construction doesn’t just occur in the daytime. With the high daytime traffic volumes, more and more road construction takes place at night. You need to pay extra attention and drive extra slowly through construction zones at night. 

Look around  — just because you don’t immediately see traffic control persons, construction or workers in a construction zone doesn’t mean they are not there. Be alert for traffic control persons, construction workers and equipment. 

## think 

Know the rules  — you must obey the directions of traffic control persons and road construction signs from the start to the end of the construction zone. Construction zone speed limits apply 24 hours a day when posted. 

Think ahead  — construction zones often require lane closures, so you may need to change lanes. Merge to avoid a lane closure as soon as you can. This will help maintain traffic flow. 

Plan ahead  — expect delays, and plan for them by leaving early to reach your destination on time. Construction crews aren’t there to personally inconvenience you — they are
