🚧 “LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY” DOESN’T MEAN EVERYONE WHO LIVES LOCALLY.

See a road closure sign that says LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY?

It does not mean:
❌ “I live in this town.”
❌ “I live in this village.”
❌ “I live in this city.”
❌ “I’m only going... a few minutes down the road.”

It means access is generally limited to people who need to reach a property within the closed section—for example, residents who live there or people visiting someone who lives there. If your destination is outside the closed section, the closure applies to you.

🚧 If you're not local to the closed section, use the detour.

Construction zones are active work areas. Road conditions may be unfinished or unsafe, and municipal workers may be operating heavy equipment with limited room to maneuver.

A few extra minutes on the detour is worth it.

Give road crews room. Keep yourself safe.
