Where works are being made onto road surfaces or, near roads in the construction industry, drivers will inevitably face unpredictable changes in traffic flow. These changes may endanger road users, workers and pedestrians unless safety measures as well as work procedures are well executed.Road users may not be able to differentiate between construction site conditions and active work zones.
