You are on a two-lane road posted at 65 mph. A highway maintenance truck is stopped on the shoulder with its warning lights flashing. Under Wyoming's move-over law, what is the highest speed you may drive as you pass?

Show answer
A. 45 mph

You drive through a marked construction zone on a Sunday and see no workers. What does the manual advise?
- A Drive normally, because the zone is not active
- B Speed up to clear the zone quickly
- C Change lanes freely, since the cones no longer apply
- D Keep using extra care, since workers or equipment may still be present
Show answer
D. Keep using extra care, since workers or equipment may still be present
Extra care should be kept through construction work zones even when there is no apparent work activity nearby. Lane shifts, rough pavement and equipment can remain, and workers may be just out of sight.
