How to drive in a construction zone

Although encountering an unexpected construction zone can be frustrating if you ’ re in a rush , you must follow specific rules to keep everyone safe . Here are a few tips for driving through construction zones this summer .

• Stay alert and calm . Limit distractions and be aware of your surroundings to reduce the risk of getting in an accident .
• Merge as soon as possible . Don ’ t wait until the last minute to merge into another lane to help improve traffic flow and limit delays .
• Slow down and pay close attention to speed limits , roadway signs and flaggers . Be ready to follow traffic directions .
• Don ’ t tailgate . Double your following distance to give yourself more time to stop or react if something or someone suddenly moves into your lane .
Did you know the number of construction zones increases during the warmer months ? Consequently , it ’ s a good idea to check traffic frequently and plan ahead if your usual route includes a construction zone . Find an alternate way or give yourself extra time to avoid unexpected delays . n
