work zones

Construction and maintenance zones: active road work areas, temporary traffic control, lane closures, work-zone speed and lane shifts, and driving behavior through these temporary configurations. This is about the construction setting itself, NOT the permanent geometry of the road (road_geometry) and NOT the signage that may direct traffic through it (signage_environment).
