What is a "detour"?
A detour is a temporary change in the usual route due to roadwork, an accident, or other obstacles. It directs drivers to use an alternate path to avoid a blocked or unsafe area. Detours are meant to keep traffic moving smoothly and safely, even if it means taking a longer or less direct route. Signs or signals are often placed to guide drivers along the detour and help them return to their original route once the issue is resolved.
