road crews

Asphalt repair teams

Road crews are teams of workers who build, repair, and maintain roads.

They handle tasks like filling potholes, repaving surfaces, clearing debris, and managing construction zones.

The term often appears in traffic contexts: Expect delays—road crews are working on the highway.

Drivers associate road crews with orange cones, flaggers, and slow-moving equipment.
