Safeway Driving Reality Check Adult Class Practice Exam

When driving near construction, you must be alert to the various ways traffic is being controlled and guided through the work zone. The best choice is all of the above because construction sites use flaggers who direct or stop traffic, signs or other devices that warn of changes and guide you through the area, and lane closures that reduce or shift your path and require you to merge or slow down. Flaggers may signal you to stop or proceed at specific speeds, so you need to follow their instructions exactly. Signs and devices inform you about reduced speeds, narrowed lanes, and the presence of workers or equipment, helping you anticipate what’s ahead. Lane closures change how traffic moves, so recognizing and adjusting early prevents abrupt braking or lane changes. In practice, slow down before entering the zone, increase your following distance, and be prepared for sudden stops or shifts in traffic. Stay attentive to workers and equipment, and follow all posted signs and directions.
