What does the A21 'End of Roadworks Section' sign tell me?

Always look for subsequent signs or clear indications that normal conditions have resumed. Some questions might test your understanding of staying alert even after this sign.

What should I do if there are still temporary lane markings after the A21 sign?

If you see the A21 sign but there are still temporary lane markings or other instructions in place, you should continue to follow them. The sign indicates the end of the *roadworks section*, but sometimes temporary measures persist until the very end of the work zone, or even slightly beyond.
