(1) The SMV is being used in actual construction and maintenance work in an area guarded by a flagperson, or where flares are used.

(2) The SMV is operating or traveling within the limits of a construction area designated by the director of transportation, a city engineer, or the county engineer of the several counties, when such construction area is marked in accordance with requirements of the director and the manual of uniform traffic control devices, as set forth in section 4511.09 of the Revised Code.
