Where do the Virginia requirements for yielding to vehicles with flashing lights not apply?
- Residential streets
- Divided highways
- Highway work zones
- Roads with posted speed limits
Answer: Highway work zones. The manual expressly says these requirements do not apply in highway work zones. That is a specific exception, not a general exemption for residential streets, divided highways, or roads with posted limits. Drivers should still follow signs, flaggers, and work zone controls because the exception does not make the area consequence free. When a work zone is present, reduce speed, watch for workers and traffic shifts, and obey the instructions governing that zone.
