Traffic can expect to be delayed due to construction repair operations. Please obey the flagperson’s signal. Speed limits in construction zones must be obeyed at all times, even when workers and equipment are not working. Construction hazards such as bumps, detours, fresh oil and loose gravel may still be present. Drivers should be extremely cautious, reduce speed and do not tailgate, stay as calm as possible.
1. Avoid Distractions
Distracted driving is not only illegal in Ontario, but are also extremely dangerous.
2. Keep a Safe Distance Between Vehicles
Traffic will slow down as you approach and travel through a work zone. As congestion increases around you, you should make sure to keep a safe distance between your vehicle and those around you.
Rear-end collisions are the most common type of car accident in construction zones.
3. Adhere to Posted Speed Limits and Other Signage
Follow the posted speed limit and obey all other posted signage in the area.
4. Merge Responsibly
Merging in construction zones is often a serious hazard for motorists. Minimize your risk by merging early and well ahead of where the lane ends.
5. Plan Ahead to Avoid Delays
If you know that your route includes a construction zone, plan ahead and give yourself extra time for your commute.
6. Remain Calm
If you find yourself stuck in construction zone track, remain calm. Becoming angry and aggressive will not help you move through the area any faster, but it could push you to engage in risky actions that put you and the others around you in danger.
