What should you do if you see a "Road Closed" sign?

Seeing a "Road Closed" sign indicates that the roadway is not safe for travel, either due to construction, an accident, or other hazards. Heeding this warning is crucial for your safety and the safety of others. These signs are placed to prevent drivers from entering areas that are potentially dangerous or impassable. Ignoring the sign and proceeding could lead to accidents, getting stuck, or entering a dangerous situation.

While taking a detour might seem like a viable option, it should only be done if officially directed. Simply moving forward or assuming it’s a false alarm disregards the potential risks associated with ignoring safety signage. A cautious and responsible approach is to trust the sign and find an alternative route that is open for traffic.
