Which items are used to guide traffic in work zones?

• A. Cones, Drums, Barricades
• B. Signs, Signals
• C. Fences, Barriers
• D. Traffic lights, Signs

Answer: (A)

Cones, drums, and barricades are used to guide traffic in work zones. They create a temporary, clearly visible path that channels vehicles safely around the work area and away from workers. These portable devices can be quickly moved or adjusted as the job site changes, which is essential in dynamic work zones.

Signs and signals provide instructions, but they don’t form the actual guiding path in the same way the temporary markers do. Fences and permanent barriers are less about directing the flow of traffic and more about restricting access or protecting certain areas, while traffic lights and signs may appear but aren’t the primary physical guide for drivers through a work zone.
