Expect the Unexpected - It pays to be cautious!
Slow Down - Reaction time is
directly related to your speed so take your time in high traffic
conditions such as work zones.
Don’t Tailgate - Maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Pay Attention to Signs - Be alert for signs indicating a lane change, flaggers, or changes in speed.
Obey Road Crew Flaggers - A flagger has the same authority as a posted road sign .
Stay Alert, Reduce Distractions - Turn down the music and stay off your headset while traveling through work zones.
Keep Up with Traffic Flow - Help keep traffic flowing and minimize stops and contested lanes by merging as soon as possible.
Be Patient, Stay Calm - Frustration and impatience can lead to rash decisions and further delays.
Wyoming does not have specific regulations for manufactured homes. Refer to the section on "oversize" loads.
