WORK ZONE

An area identified by advance warning where road construction, repair, utility or maintenance work is being done by workers on or adjacent to a highway, regardless of whether or not workers are present. The work zone begins with the initial advance warning sign (e.g. ROAD WORK AHEAD) and ends at the END ROAD WORK sign; or the last TCD (Traffic Control Device), or where traffic resumes normal operations.
