About Work Zone Signs
Work Zone signs have orange backgrounds. They communicate road and hazard conditions in temporary areas such as construction and utility work. Refer to the MUTCD for more information.
Replacement Requirements*
Work Zone signs should only be used in “new” or “like new” condition and replaced immediately if missing, damaged or deteriorated. While they are temporary signs, condition is extremely critical because travel through work zones can be hazardous with unexpected or unusual conditions.
