Be Alert

• Always be prepared for changing lanes, change in speed limits, sudden stoppages, sharp diversions, etc.
• Always be alert of unexpected slowing down, stop, or change of lanes.
• Always be extra cautious and drive defensively during rain as pavement conditions may differ.
• Always drive carefully expecting that workers or construction vehicles may make sudden disruptive movements.
• Always try to avoid driving over any loose construction material.
• Always stay prepared to give way to the traffic from opposite direction, in a narrowed down stretch, unless you are the first to blink your headlight.
• It is expected to have proper signage, delineators, road signs, crash barriers, lighting, etc. in a construction zone and you need to follow them strictly. Even otherwise, you should follow the safety guidelines.
