Temporary Traffic Control Signs (Work Zone Signs)

Temporary road condition signs provide information on road work or other temporary road conditions. Temporary traffic control signs are usually diamond- or square-shaped and are usually fluorescent orange with black letters.

Road work signs alert drivers about road work zones, diversions, detours, lane closures, traffic control people and other construction hazards. You need to slow down where there are construction zones.

Below are some examples of the most common Temporary Condition/Road-Work signs:

	Road work ahead Tell drivers that there is road work ahead – slow down and approach with caution.
	Traffic control person ahead Tells you to drive slowly and follow the guide and instruction of the traffic control person.
	Right Lane Closed Tells you that right Lane ahead is closed for roadwork. Slow down and start merging with traffic to the one available lane
	Temporary Detour Tell you to follow the signs for a temporary detour from normal traffic route.
