Explanation

Road signs indicating a roadworks section are just as valid as regular signs, even if there are no workers on the road at that moment. This means that speed limits, traffic directions and other instructions must be strictly obeyed. Ignoring these signs can lead to fines or dangerous situations, as the signs and conditions on these stretches may differ from normal. Temporary signs are often used to mark lane reductions, diversions and limited visibility.
