    It means they recommend turning off navigation. The goal is to encourage drivers to pay attention to the road, read signage, and keep an eye out for construction.

      It’s also often used because the navigation might be wrong due to changes and restrictions put in place for the road works.
      If the navigation gives the wrong instructions, that might lead to distraction and in turn dangerous situations. Especially so in a construction zone.

      Personally I don’t turn off the navigation when I see it, but I take it as a reminder that the navigation will probably be incorrect on the next stretch.
