What should you do when approaching a construction zone?

Maintain your speed and proceed as usual.
Reduce your speed and be prepared to stop.
Increase your speed to get through the zone quickly.
Follow the construction workers' instructions, regardless of traffic signals.

The correct answer is: Reduce your speed and be prepared to stop.

When approaching a construction zone, it is important to reduce your speed and be prepared to stop. Option A is incorrect as maintaining your speed can be dangerous and potentially lead to accidents. Option C is incorrect because increasing your speed is not only unsafe, but can also lead to fines for speeding in a construction zone. Option D is also incorrect as following the instructions of construction workers may conflict with traffic signals and traffic laws. B is the most appropriate option as it allows for caution and flexibility in a potentially hazardous situation.
