Workzone Safety

Share | 

Join us in raising awareness about work zone safety and showing our support for the hardworking individuals who keep our roads safe.  




Work zone fatal crashes and fatalities are on the rise nationwide.

Let’s do our part to keep our roads safe for everyone. Slow down, stay alert, and follow posted signs and instructions in work zones. Together, we can prevent tragedies and ensure the safety of all workers and travelers. 

Put away your phone, keep both hands on the wheel, and pay attention to the road ahead

Remember to slow down, stay alert, and obey all traffic signs and flaggers in work zones

Speeding is one of the leading causes of work zone accidents. Protect construction workers and fellow drivers by obeying the posted speed limits in work zones. 

Remember, work zones are TEMPORARY. Actions behind the wheel can last FOREVER.
