16. Road Works

• When the "Road Works Ahead" sign is displayed, you will need to be more attentive and look for additional signs providing more specific instructions.
• Observe all signs, as they are there for your safety, and the safety of road workers.
• You MUST NOT exceed any temporary maximum speed limit.
• Use your mirrors and get into the correct lane for your vehicle in good time and as signs direct.
• Take extra care when driving near cyclists and motorcyclists, as they could skid on grit, mud or other debris at road works.
• Where lanes are restricted due to road works, merge in turn.
• Do not drive through an area marked off by traffic cones.
• Watch out for traffic entering or leaving the works area, but do not be distracted by what is going on there.
• Concentrate on the road ahead, not the road works.
• Bear in mind that the road ahead may be obstructed by the works or by slow- moving or stationary traffic.
• Keep a safe distance - there could be queues in front.
