Trucks and buses have limited manoeuvrability and large blind spots, both of which make operating in these areas more challenging for them. In fact, large trucks are disproportionately involved in work zone crashes.
Research Your Route
Before setting out on the road, research your route. When possible, avoid road work zones and use any detours that are available. 
Pay Attention
You should always keep your eyes on the road, but this is exceptionally important in work zones. Be aware of all signage throughout work zones that can indicate reduced speeds, lane changes and other important information. Avoid distractions such as your cellphone, eating, drinking, the radio, GPS and conversing with other passengers.
Slow Down
Lane closures, traffic pattern shifts and reduced speeds are common in work zones. Make sure to slow down when entering a work zone and keep an eye out for road workers.
Move Into The Open Lane
When approaching lane closures, move into the open lane as soon as possible. Be sure to pay close attention to vehicles around you that could be in your blind spot.
Keep Your Distance
Rear-end crashes are extremely common in work zones – maintain extra space between your vehicle and the one in front of you at all times.
