construction zone
Active development site
A construction zone is a section of road where repairs, improvements, or building work is underway.
Traffic typically slows through construction zones due to lane closures, uneven pavement, or workers present.
Signs mark the boundaries, and fines for traffic violations are often doubled: Reduce speed—construction zone ahead.
