In the summer, many parts of the country perform necessary road repairs on busy highways. An experienced driver approaches a road repair area cautiously and courteously. To allow all traffic to get to their destinations, a few tips will help. Avoid the tendency to be a “cop” by driving slowly blocking the full use of the lane. Instead allow the use of all lanes and allow traffic to flow and merge where the lane ends. Stay cool during the heat of summer road work.
Kold News 13 has posted some helpful tips for when you’re driving near these zones. For example, “Expect the Unexpected. Normal speed limits may be reduced, traffic lanes may be restricted, and people may be working on or near the road.” For tips like these and more, check out their write up here: http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?s=3901660
