In which area are road users redirected from their normal path?

The transition area is specifically designed to redirect road users from their normal path. This area serves a crucial function in guiding vehicles and pedestrians safely through or around construction zones, road work, or other types of disruptions on the roadway.

During this phase, clear signage and barriers are typically used to ensure that road users are aware of the changes ahead and know how to navigate through them. The transition area helps to minimize confusion and enhance safety by providing a structured and organized way for road users to adjust to the new traffic patterns. It is essential for maintaining the flow of traffic while protecting both the workers on the site and the road users themselves.

Understanding the purpose and design of the transition area is vital for anyone involved in traffic management and flagging operations, as it directly impacts how effectively and safely roadwork can proceed while minimizing disruption and enhancing safety for all.
