The answer, explained
Expect road workers or maintenance activity ahead. Orange warning signs are commonly associated with temporary traffic control and road work.
The worker-and-shovel symbol tells you what the warning concerns. Adjust your approach for people, equipment, and changed road conditions, and follow the signs and directions controlling the work area.
A common mistake
Assuming an orange warning applies only when workers are immediately visible can leave you unprepared for the work area ahead.
