When driving in a construction zone, you should be prepared:

1. To stop.
2. To change lanes.
3. For unexpected movement from workers or equipment.
4. All of the above. ✓

Answer: D. All of the above.

In a construction zone, you should be prepared for all of these: to stop, to change lanes, and for unexpected movement from workers or equipment.

Why this is the answer

The Texas handbook says that when you are in a construction and maintenance work zone, you should be prepared to slow down or stop as you approach workers and equipment, to change lanes, and for unexpected movements of workers and equipment. Because the handbook gives all three as things to be ready for, the choice covering all of them is the correct one. Picking only one leaves out the other listed hazards and actions.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. To stop. — Being ready to stop is only one part of the handbook's construction-zone warning, so it does not cover the full answer.
• B. To change lanes. — Being ready to change lanes is also only one listed item, not the complete set of things to prepare for.
• C. For unexpected movement from workers or equipment. — Watching for unexpected movement from workers or equipment is listed too, but by itself it leaves out the other preparations.

Remember it

Remember the construction-zone warning as three things: stop or slow, change lanes, and watch for workers and equipment moving unexpectedly.
