Work zone sign
Road Work Ahead Sign
Roadworks begin ahead. Orange is reserved for temporary traffic control, so an orange sign always overrides the permanent signs around it.
What to do
Slow down, expect lane shifts, stopped vehicles, and workers on foot. Fines are commonly doubled in a work zone whether or not anyone is present.
