Work zones play a critical role in the preservation and enhancement of our nation’s roadways. They separate construction and maintenance activities from traffic, providing a safe route for all road users (motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists) and a safe area for workers. However, work zone related changes in traffic patterns and rights of way, combined with the presence of workers, and the frequent movement of work vehicles, may lead to crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, there was a work zone crash every 3.5 hours in Wisconsin last year. It’s important for everyone to do their part to be safe. Your good choices behind the wheel are good for everyone on the road. Every driver makes a difference.
Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives.
