Safety Risks for Motorists

⚠ Reduced Lane Width – Soil piles may narrow the road temporarily.
⚠ Dust & Debris – Limited visibility near work zones.
⚠ Heavy Equipment Movement – Dozers and dump trucks entering/exit work area.
⚠ Uneven Surfaces – Freshly placed soil may shift if not compacted fully.

Precautions for Drivers

✔ Slow Down – Follow posted speed limits (max 30 km/h recommended).
✔ Avoid Shoulders – Stay clear of work zones and loose soil edges.
✔ Watch for Flaggers – Obey all temporary traffic signs and signals.
✔ Expect Delays – Alternate routes advised during peak work hours.
