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.
