New Traffic Pattern Ahead

The lane configuration or traffic pattern has changed ahead; do not rely on memory of the route.

A work zone or recent project has altered the familiar lane layout, intersection, or flow of traffic ahead. Slow down, read all signs and pavement markings carefully, and be ready for changed lane assignments, shifted alignments, or new turn restrictions even if you drive this road regularly.
