#workzoneawareness

Driving is the ONLY thing you should be doing behind the wheel. 🚗

Use caution while navigating a work zone. Crews try their absolute best to avoid sudden stops. On the interstate, full traffic stops are closely coordinated with law enforcement. Flagging operations where a flagger will alternate one-way traffic is usually set up far enough away that there are no sudden stops for traffic.

During National Work Zone Awareness Week and every day, show your support for the people working to improve our highways, roadways, and streets.

Give 'em a brake!

Work zone safety tips

We ask all drivers in work zones to:

Slow down – drive the posted speeds, they're there for your safety.

Be kind – our workers are out there helping to keep you safe and improve the roadways.

Pay attention – both to workers directing you and surrounding traffic; put your phone down when behind the wheel.

Stay calm – expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no meeting or appointment is worth risking someone's life.

Please join us in a moment of silence today to remember & honor those who lost their lives on the job and across the country.

Spring break and summer vacations are on the horizon, and more drivers are planning to hit the roads.

REMEMBER: Work zones are a sign to slow down.

✋🏻 During #NWZAW, learn more about how to make sure crews make it home safely at the end of each shift.

⚠️Be cautious ⚠️ Emergencies are the only time a work zone begins without notice.

We try our best to give drivers as much notice as possible.

Drivers can expect lane closures, shifts, or detours within a work zone.
