Arkansas driver tests now cover work-zone safety
Arkansas requires written driver’s license tests to include questions about driving safely in highway work zones. The driver’s manual must explain unsafe-driving hazards and penalties, plus statistics about the dangers of moving violations in work zones.

A question-and-answer section must cover safe driving in these areas.
