work zones

Coned-off highway sections

Work zones are sections of roadway where construction, maintenance, or utility work is being performed.

Traffic typically slows or shifts lanes through work zones, often marked by orange cones, barriers, and reduced speed limits: Fines double in work zones.

The term appears frequently on highway signs warning drivers of crews ahead.
