Signal Ahead (Work Zone)

A traffic signal is just ahead inside the work zone; slow down and be ready to stop.

Warns drivers in a temporary traffic control area that they will encounter a traffic signal ahead, often where the light is hard to see because of construction equipment, barriers, or a curve. Reduce speed, cover the brake, and watch for vehicles slowing or stopping for a red indication.
