1. A method of detecting road construction comprising:
- receiving sensor data relating to an environment associated with a vehicle;
determining that construction-related objects are present within the environment based on the sensor data; and
determining whether a travel-impacting construction zone is present within the environment based on the presence of the construction-related objects in the environment.
