Work Zone Traffic Laws - In Utah, the enhanced penalty is applicable only when workers are present and/or if signs are posted.
• Expect the unexpected -- • Slow down -- Speeding is one of the major causes of work zone crashes.
• Don’t tailgate -- The most common crash in a highway work zone is the rear end collision.
• Keep your distance -- Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the construction workers and their equipment.
• Pay attention to the signs -- Observe the posted signs until you see the one that says you’ve left the work zone.
• Obey road crew flaggers -- A flagger has the same authority as a regulatory sign, so you can be cited for disobeying his or her directions.
