Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. Narrower lanes than usual and restricted shoulder areas.

When travelling through a section of roadworks, a driver needs to be extra careful, as the road surface area may be considerably reduced. It may be narrower, uneven, slippery or there may be loose chippings which may pose a danger for road workers and other road users.
