Which term best describes a construction area not open to travel?

• A. Road
• B. Traffic way
• C. Construction area/closed road
• D. Vehicle

Answer: (C)

Knowing the correct term for a road area under construction that isn’t open to traffic helps ensure safety and clear communication. When a portion of the road is active construction and not accessible to travelers, the label should convey both the ongoing work and the closure. Construction area/closed road does exactly that, signaling both the construction activity and that the road is closed to travel. This supports proper detours, signage, and safety compliance. A normal road would imply passage is allowed; traffic way isn’t a standard designation for a closed construction site; and vehicle refers to a thing that moves, not the area. So the term that best fits is construction area/closed road.
