safe-driving
What do orange work area signs warn drivers may be present near the roadway?
- Workers or equipment operating on or near the roadway
- A permanent hospital service area
- A guaranteed lane for high occupancy vehicles
- A railroad crossing with no roadway activity
Answer: Workers or equipment operating on or near the roadway. Orange work area signs identify construction, maintenance, or emergency operations and warn that people may be working on or near the roadway. They can also announce reduced speeds, detours, slow equipment, or changing surfaces. The hospital choice belongs to service information, not the orange work zone category. A high occupancy lane is a lane use rule, and a railroad warning has its own signs and signals. When an orange sign appears, expect workers and altered traffic movement, reduce speed as directed, and obey a flagger or other person controlling traffic.
