These signs identify maintenance, construction or utility areas where workers or

equipment may be on or near the roadway. Stay alert and slow down when you seethese signs.

Turn on your headlights when traveling through a work zone, no matter what timeof day. This is the law for all posted work zones, not just for active ones. Using yourheadlights makes your vehicle more visible to other traffic as well as to highwayworkers. If you are pulled over by police for a traffic violation in a work zone and yourvehicleʼs headlights are not turned on, you will be fined an additional $25. PA Driverʼs ManualACTIVE WORK ZONEWHENFLASHINGINCREASED PENALTIESENDACTIVE WORK ZONEThese WORK ZONEsigns are placed at the beginning and end of anactive work zone. An active work zone is the portion of a work zone whereconstruction, maintenance or utility workers are on the roadway or onthe shoulder of the highway, next to an open travel lane.

Begin your merge well in advance of the sign. An arrow paneldisplaying either of the messages shown in the figure to the far right (caution) indicates there is a work area aheadnext to the travel lane. Drive with extra caution.

MOVE/MERGE RIGHTMOVE/MERGE LEFTCAUTIONCHANNELING DEVICESBarrels, tubes, cones and vertical panels are alldevices used in work zones to guide you throughchanging traffic patterns and keep you away fromhazards associated with road work. GUIDE SIGNSGuide signs provide information about intersecting roads, help direct you to cities and towns and show points ofinterest along the highway. Guide signs also help you find hospitals, service stations, restaurants and motels.Usually these signs are horizontal rectangles.

HIGHWAY/EXPRESSWAY GUIDE SIGNS

The following three signs are examples of highway and expressway guide signs. They are green with white letters.Most highway and expressway signs are posted the same way. For example, there is usually one advance signwhich is followed by another advance sign. The third sign then is posted at the exit. Several signs are necessarybecause the high speed and heavy traffic on highways can cause drivers to miss seeing a single sign. Also,motorists may need to make one or more lane changes to exit.

Colonial ParkProgress2 MILES22EXITS 30 E-WColonial ParkProgress1 MILE22EXITS 30 E-WColonial Park22EASTEXIT 30 EIf a yellow panel with the message EXIT ONLY is on ahighway sign, the lane below the sign will not continuethrough the interchange; instead, the lane will go off ofthe road to form a ramp. If you are in a lane posted withan EXIT ONLY, you may change lanes, or you must exitthe highway if you stay in this lane.

EXIT NUMBERSExit numbers have been revised to correspond with the mile markers similar to states to the west and south ofPennsylvania. This change allows motorists to quickly calculate distances between exits, e.g., the distancebetween Exit 95 and Exit 20 is 75 miles.

The numbers on the interstate shield can be a greatnavigational aid when you understand how they are developed. They generally follow this pattern: •One or two-digit, even-numbered interstates are generally east-west routes. Nationally, the numbers increasefrom I-10 in the south to I-94 in the north. In Pennsylvania, Route I-76 is in the southern part of the state andRoutes I-84 and I-80 are in the northern part.

80INTERSTATE ROUTE NUMBERING SYSTEM The red, white and blue shield sign indicates a highway is an interstate traffic route. Theseroutes are specially numbered to help motorists find their way through unfamiliar areas. A codeis used to show if the route travels mainly east and west or north and south, and to show if theroute is in the eastern, middle or western United States. Exit 7 for Route 22will be on the rightside of the highway.

Bowie 22•If the sign has white arrows, the arrow will point in the direction of the exit.

•The small green EXITnumber sign on top of the green rectangular sign will be on the rightside of the sign, if the exit is on the rightside of the highway.

•The small green EXITnumber sign on top of the green rectangular sign will be on theleftside of the sign, if the exit is on the leftside of the highway.

•One or two-digit, odd-numbered interstates are generally north-south routes. Numbers increase from thewest coast I-5 to the east coast I-95. In Pennsylvania, I-79 is in the western part of the state, and I-95 is inthe eastern part. •Three-digit numbered interstate highways connect to other major highways. If the first of the three (3) digits is anevennumber, the highway usually connects to interstate highways at both ends, such as I-276 in Philadelphia.Many times such routes are known as “loops” or “beltways.” •When the first of the three (3) digits is an oddnumber, the highway is usually a “spur” route connecting withanother interstate at only one (1) end, sometimes going into a city center such as I-180 in Williamsport.

19112149016󰀀MILE MARKERS Mile markers are used on some highways to indicate the number of miles from the pointwhere the traffic route entered the state or from its beginning, if it does not extend to thestate borders. The numbers start at zero in the western part of the state for east-westroadways and in the southern part of the state for north-south roadways. The numbersincrease as you travel east or north and decrease as you travel west or south. Forexample, when you enter Pennsylvania from the west on Route I-80, the mile markersbegin at Mile 1 and increase as you travel east. Knowing how to read mile markers canhelp you to know exactly where you are and give an approximate location, if you haveto call for roadside assistance.- 20-Chapter 2 - Signals, Signs and Pavement MarkingsROUTE MARKERS The following signs indicate the route on which you are traveling.

- 21-Chapter 2 - Signals, Signs and Pavement MarkingsMost roads have permanent markings to show the center of the road, travel lanes or road edges. The markings thatshow the center of the road are solid or broken lines. These pavement markings also indicate special lane use. Yellowlines divide traffic traveling in opposite directions. Yellow lines are used to mark the center of two-lane roads, and tomark the left edge of divided highways, one-way streets and ramps. Solid white lines divide lanes of traffic travelingin the same direction. Solid white lines are also used to mark the right edge of the road.

PA Driverʼs ManualAs a general rule, broken traffic lines can be crossed and solid lines cannot, except when making a turn.Some examples of different pavement markings and their meanings follow: A single, broken yellow centerline shows the center of atwo-way, two-lane road. Passing is permitted on either side,if safe conditions exist. When passing, you must use the lanebelonging to oncoming traffic.

A double, solid yellow centerline shows the center of a two-way road. Even if it is not marked with a NO PASSINGsign,passing by traffic traveling in either direction is not allowed onroads marked in this manner.

The combination of a solid yellow and a broken yellowcenterline also shows the center of a two-way roadway. Youmay pass if the broken line is on your side of the road andsafe conditions exist, but you may not pass when a solidyellow line is on your side of the road.

MMMTURNING LANE ONLYMMMMMMMMMMMMPavement markings also include words painted on the pavement and arrows that supplement messages posted onregulatory and warning signs. Examples include the words STOP AHEADbefore an intersection with a STOPsign,YIELDor white triangles painted across the lane to indicate you must yield to approaching traffic, SCHOOLbefore aschool zone, R X Rbefore a railroad crossing, BIKE LANEfor a lane reserved for bicyclists, ONLYwith a left or rightarrow to indicate the lane is reserved for turns only and large white arrows to indicate the direction of travel on one-way streets and highway off-ramps.

The inside, broken yellow and solid yellowcenterlines show vehicles traveling in either direction mayuse the center lane only to make left turns. Refer to Chapter3 for more information about using center turn lanes safely.Multi-lane highways without medians (center dividers) areoften marked as shown. Broken white lines show which lanescan be used by vehicles traveling the same way. You maycross the broken white lines to pass, (be sure the passing laneis clear) but you may not cross the double yellow centerlinesto pass. Traffic is traveling in the opposite direction in the laneto the left of the yellow center line. This pattern is used on most limited access highways withmedians (center dividers). The right edge of the road ismarked with a solid white line. The left edge of each sideis marked by a solid yellow line.
