Be safe around roadworks

For the safety of road workers and all road users, when you are approaching roadworks:

  • Keep within the speed limit
  • Get into the correct lane in good time
  • Concentrate on the road ahead, not the roadworks
  • Be alert for works’ traffic leaving or entering roadworks
  • Keep a safe distance
  • Observe all signs
  • Be alert for road workers, the roads are their workplace
