What should you do if you encounter a lane closure?

When encountering a lane closure, the appropriate action is to change lanes only when it is safe to do so. This ensures the safety of all drivers on the road, including yourself and those affected by the closure. Carefully assessing the situation allows you to switch lanes without causing disruptions or accidents.

Moving smoothly and safely to an alternate lane helps to maintain traffic flow and reduces the likelihood of sudden stops or collisions. It is important to signal your intentions clearly to other drivers to enhance safety. In contrast, speeding through the closure or ignoring it can lead to serious consequences, such as accidents or fines, while waiting for instructions from traffic signals might not be applicable in every situation, especially if traffic signals are absent or irrelevant due to the lane closure. Always prioritize safe driving practices when navigating around such situations.
