Traffic control devices in work zones.
The traffic control plans contained in this booklet are furnished as a guide to be used along with good judgment. Minor modifications may be made, as necessary, to accommodate site conditions; however, a plan's original intent must be maintained. An alternate plan should be considered if substantial revisions are needed.
Slow down – lives are on the line.
Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.
Phone down, eyes up.
Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.
Stay calm
Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
