Safe Driving Tip: Driving on roadways under construction can be confusing and time consuming due to restricted driving lanes, speed limits, and turning restrictions. When driving in a construction zone be sure to observe all posted traffic control devices. Plan ahead if a construction zone is in your daily driving route. Leave earlier and prepare for detours from your normal driving route, or take a completely different route to avoid the construction zone. Driving restrictions in construction zones are in place for the safety of workers, pedestrians and drivers. Remember to follow all lane, speed and turning restrictions, as they are enforceable traffic violations. And always remember to Drive Safe!
On the Web: Roadway construction information, to include traffic restrictions, occurring within the City of Yuma, can be found on the City’s website at http://www.yumaaz.gov/.
