Answer: C — Road work or construction ahead

An orange traffic sign indicates that there is road work or construction ahead. This color is specifically chosen to draw attention to potentially hazardous conditions in work zones where drivers need to reduce speed and be extra cautious. The presence of an orange sign signals to motorists that they should be prepared for changes in traffic patterns, additional workers or equipment in the area, and other temporary conditions that could affect safe driving. Recognizing orange signs is crucial for maintaining safety on the roads, particularly in areas where construction activities are taking place.
