## Construction/Maintenance Signs & Signals 

Various traffic control devices are used in road construction and maintenance work areas to direct drivers and pedestrians safely through the work site. Be prepared to reduce your speed and use caution when directed to do so by a sign, flagger, or law enforcement officer. Failure to do so is illegal and is dangerous to those working in the construction zone.  (Signs will indicate where speeding fines will be doubled when workers are present). 

Construction and Maintenance Signs.  The signs—usually diamond shaped and/or orange in color—notify drivers of unusual or potentially dangerous conditions near work areas. 

Channeling Devices  include barricades, vertical panels, drums and cones. Stripes on barricades and panel devices slope downward in the direction traffic must travel. These devices alert drivers of unusual or potentially dangerous conditions in roadway and work zones. These devices may be equipped with warning lights at night time to guide drivers safely.

Flashing Arrow Panels.  Used both during the day and at night to give advance warning and directional information when it is necessary to move to another lane. 

Flaggers.  People who work in roadway construction/ maintenance zones to stop, slow, or guide traffic safely through the area. Flaggers wear bright colored/fluorescent vests or jackets and use red flags or signs to direct traffic through work zones.
