safe-driving
How should you drive through a South Dakota work zone?
- Reduce speed, increase following distance, and watch for workers
- Keep the normal limit because work areas are short
- Follow closely so no vehicle enters your lane
- Ignore work signs after you pass the first barrel
Answer: Reduce speed, increase following distance, and watch for workers. Work zones call for lower speed and more space because lanes can narrow, pavement may be rough, and workers or equipment may be near traffic. Keeping the normal limit overlooks those changing hazards. Look for orange signs, cones, barrels, large vehicles, and workers, then maintain extra room so a sudden stop does not become a crash. Stay with the posted work-zone controls until an End Road Work sign or normal lane pattern clearly returns.
