Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The Work Zone State Law Turn On Headlights sign is put out to warn drivers of an impending work or construction zone. The Work Zone portion of the sign doesn't deviate from construction sign protocol (black on orange), but the State Law Turn On Headlights portion is on a white background. The sign has a rectangular shape, and it directs you to turn on your headlights to ensure you see further warning signs ahead as well as personnel and machinery.
The End Active Work Zone sign, which is rectangular, informs drivers they're passing out of an active work zone. Normal driving can continue from that point forward, unless additional speed regulation signs have been installed.
The Active Work Zone When Flashing sign is also rectangular. If it's accompanied by a flashing strobe or rotating beacon, it means work is in progress...and instructs drivers to slow down.
The diamond-shaped Road Work Ahead sign explains that construction activity is very near. It basically warns drivers to slow down.
