Tight Construction lanes and maintaining control?

Most construction zones are the exact same width as your normal lane. The only difference is the jersey barrier blocking the shoulder. Even if they narrowed the lanes, the lanes are still 11ft wide. The only difference in most construction zones is that claustrophobic feeling caused by the jersey barrier. More than adequate to a driver that can thread the needle.

Anyways, a little practice and you will be so comfortable that you forget to slow down. If you haven’t already, you will run into the single lane construction with the wall sitting on the fog line and the zipper. They’re STILL usually 12 wide. Plenty of room.

All Fine and Dandy for Van guys as they reroute us down a shoulder with 10 degrees of difference from The road. Try it in a tanker

Those off tracking trailers can be a pain. I’ve pulled a few where if you are centered in the lane the back of the trailer is riding the white line.
Other drivers should and will recognize this, others don’t care and are ignorant. If they want to pass just slow down.

I’m going to allow you to do what you feel you need to be safe.
But there’s that one who wants to pass you in a tunnel at 65.
