Read the zone early
Watch advance signs, merge instructions, flaggers, temporary markings and changing speed limits before reaching the taper.
Manage the combination
Center the vehicle, avoid sudden lane changes and leave room for traffic that may stop unexpectedly.
Driver takeaway
Ignore pressure from vehicles behind; enter the work zone at a speed that preserves control and stopping distance.
