Work Zone Safety!

The 2012 transportation construction season is here! Below are some tips to keep in mind when approaching a work zone:

  • When you see ORANGE warning signs along the highway, think safety and be alert. Orange signs, cones, and barrels alert you to work zones.
  • Watch for flaggers at work zones and follow their instructions.
  • Drive at the posted speed, which often has been decreased through the work zone. The penalty for speeding violations in a work zone is often twice the amount that would normally be assessed.
  • Obey signs, channeling devices, and pavement markings as soon as you can- they are intended to guide you through the work zone quickly and efficiently.

Visit our Work Zone Safety web page for more safety tips.

And Remember to Always Wear Your Safety Belt!
