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 “Drive like you work here.”
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. 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 10 for “Go Orange Day.”
