Tips for driving safely in work zones

An inattentive driver is the most common cause of work zone crashes. Drivers and their passengers — not workers — make up the majority of work zone fatalities.

What you can do:

• SLOW DOWN!
• Pay attention
• Obey signs and flaggers

Know before you go! Call 511 or visit www.TripCheck.com to check routes, work zones and road and weather conditions before you head out. Or call the Oregon road report at 511 or 1-800-977-6368.
