Construction signs are the color orange.

  • Distinctive Orange Color: Construction signs are easily recognizable by their vibrant orange color.

  • Signaling Work Zones: Orange construction signs are used to warn drivers of upcoming roadwork or construction zones.

  • Importance of Awareness: Recognizing and adhering to construction signs is crucial for ensuring the safety of construction workers, drivers, and pedestrians in areas where road maintenance or construction activities are taking place.

The roads are most slippery during the first few minutes of rain.

  • Early Rain Hazards: Rainfall significantly affects road conditions, particularly in the initial moments after it begins. Understanding these risks is essential for safe driving.

  • High Slipperiness: Roads are at their slipperiest during the first few minutes of rain due to oil residue mixing with water. This can lead to reduced traction and a higher risk of skidding.

  • Cautious Driving Approach: During these conditions, exercise extreme caution by reducing speed and avoiding sudden maneuvers to prevent accidents and skidding.

    Allow an extra cushion or space behind motorcycles to help protect them.

  • Motorcycle Awareness: Sharing the road responsibly with motorcycles is essential for ensuring the safety of all road users.

  • Maintaining Following Space: Provide additional cushion or space when following motorcycles. Their smaller size and maneuverability may require sudden braking or evasive actions, and maintaining distance helps prevent collisions and provides room for adjustments.
