A 2-minute lesson from the Hawaii course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Work zones change the road without warning: lanes shift, close or narrow, and workers stand just feet from traffic. Orange devices guide you through, so read them early and follow them exactly.
Know the rule
Orange is the basic color for construction and maintenance devices, and orange signs warn about road work.
Diagonal stripes on a barricade or vertical panel show which way to pass: stripes sloping down to the right mean bear right; sloping down to the left mean bear left.
Approaching roadwork at night, you see a barricade with orange-and-white stripes sloping down toward the right, plus a flashing arrow panel pointing right. Your lane is closed ahead: bear right and merge smoothly.
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
