In construction zones, construction vehicles are usually what?

• A. Are typically small and quick
• B. Do not affect speed limits
• C. Often painted with stripes but fly
• D. Are usually large and slow moving

Answer: (D)

In construction zones, you’ll share the road with large, slow-moving vehicles like trucks and heavy equipment. Their size and loads mean they accelerate slowly, require wide turns, and can stop more abruptly, so traffic must slow down and give extra space to stay safe. That's why the correct idea is that these vehicles are usually large and slow moving. You’ll often see reduced speeds in these areas, and you should increase following distance and be prepared to yield. While some equipment might have high-visibility stripes, they do not move quickly and are not flying, which makes the large and slow-moving description the accurate one.
