What does a sign 'Road Works Ahead' indicate?

• A. Road works to the side only
• B. Temporary closure ahead
• C. Road works are ahead; proceed with caution and follow signals
• D. Overtaking is allowed beyond this sign

Answer: (C)

Road works ahead means there are construction or maintenance activities on or near the road ahead. Because of that, you should slow down, be prepared for changes in traffic flow, and follow any temporary signs, signals, or directions from workers or controllers. The purpose is to navigate safely around workers and machinery, and to adapt to possible lane reductions or uneven surfaces. This sign does not guarantee a side-only works area, a full temporary closure, or any overtaking right beyond it, so the focus is on caution and obeying the controls in place.
