What is one potential hazard that may arise from poor traffic control?

One potential hazard that may arise from poor traffic control is the increased risk of traffic accidents. When traffic control measures are inadequate, it can lead to confusion among drivers, pedestrians, and construction workers. This confusion may result in vehicles entering work zones unexpectedly, reduced visibility of construction activities, or miscommunication about the flow of traffic. Consequently, these factors heighten the likelihood of collisions and accidents, posing serious safety risks to both workers and road users. Comprehensive and effective traffic control plans are essential in mitigating these dangers and ensuring a safer environment for everyone involved in or around the work zone.
