National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is an annual campaign to
bring national attention to motorist and worker safety and mobility issues in
work zones. With spring comes the start of road construction season and the key
message to drivers is “Use Extra Caution in Work Zones.”
Even
if workers are not visible in work zones, motorists should still expect
narrowed or closed lanes, traffic shifts and reduced speed limits as well as
other conditions that might affect normal travel. Remember Work Zone Safety: Everybody’s Responsibility;
please follow these tips to keep you and others safe in work zones.
- Stay alert
- Pay close attention
- Turn on your headlights
- Watch and obey the signs
- Watch out for road debris
- Don’t tailgate
- Don’t speed
- Don’t drive distracted
- Don’t change lanes in a work
zone
- Be patient
- Use alternate routes
- Allow extra travel time
Please join us in showing your support for Work Zone Awareness by
wearing orange on Wednesday, April 11 for “Go Orange Day.”
