Our nation's highways are always in need of maintenance and enhancements, and every day, crews across the country are working to improve our roadways. Unfortunately, these work zones are also high-risk environments for both drivers and workers. In the U.S., more than 900 fatalities occur each year in work zones. This week, we join our state, city and community partners as well as the Federal Highway Administration in recognizing Work Zone Awareness Week to help protect workers on the roads.
The goal of this week is to encourage drivers to understand how their driving behaviors can have a direct impact on the lives of the workers who are helping to improve our roadways. Speed and distractions can have deadly consequences.

This month, organizations across the country are raising awareness of Work Zone Safety and encouraging everyone to take action to decrease work zone fatalities and injuries. Highlights include:
Any driver can tell you – road work never seems to stop. Work zone safety is a year-round effort. Drivers should remember these 5 tips:
By following best practices, being vigilant, and working together, we can ensure that everyone returns home safely at the end of the day.
