Defensive Driving · Driver Training VideoConstruction Zone Driving
Large trucks are in roughly one of every three fatal work zone crashes, most often a rear end into stopped traffic. Drivers learn the four zone areas, slowing before the cones, merging early, adding space, and move over laws.
Branded with your logo & company nameWhat drivers learn
A work zone is the one stretch of highway where the road itself changes and everybody around you is guessing. Lanes narrow. The shoulder disappears. Traffic stacks up with no warning. And you are the heaviest thing in it.
Start with the number
Large trucks are involved in roughly one out of every three fatal work zone crashes, and we are nowhere near a third of the traffic. And most of the people killed in work zones are not workers. They are drivers and passengers.
So read the zone before you are inside it. Every work zone is built the same four ways. The advance warning area, where the signs tell you what is coming. The transition area, the taper, where the lane closes. The activity area, where the workers are.
Get slow in the advance warning area, before the cones, not at them. Cruise control off. You want your own foot on that pedal.
Merge early
When the sign says the lane closes ahead, take your place in line right then. Do not run a closing lane down to the taper and force your way in with eighty thousand pounds.
Add following distance, do not spend it. Your baseline is one second for every ten feet of vehicle, plus one more second above forty miles an hour. For a highway rig that is about eight seconds.
Pick your lane before the taper and hold it. Inside the cones there is no room and no shoulder, and a car beside your trailer has nowhere to go. Watch your off track too — through the taper your trailer cuts inside the path the tractor took.
Respect the people on foot
Equipment pulls in and out of live lanes, and a flagger has the same authority as a signal light. If a flagger stops you, you stop.
