What may be used in work zones to guide drivers into certain traffic lanes during day and night?

  1. Traffic cones

  2. Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels

  3. Road barriers

  4. Reflective markers

The correct answer is: Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels

Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels are commonly used in work zones to guide drivers effectively into designated traffic lanes both during the day and at night. These panels are particularly beneficial because they are highly visible and can convey information clearly about lane shifts or closures. The bright lights attract the attention of drivers, helping to ensure that they can make safe lane adjustments in potentially confusing or hazardous conditions. In contrast, traffic cones are typically used to delineate spaces or areas but may not provide the same level of directional guidance as arrow panels. Road barriers serve to block off areas for safety but do not actively guide traffic like arrow panels do. Reflective markers can assist in visibility but do not provide the dynamic guidance that arrow panels offer.
