Stay Alert in Work Zones
April 21-25, is National Work Zone Awareness Week, a time to remind drivers to be cautious, alert, and respectful while traveling through roadway and bridge construction areas. This year’s theme is “Respect the Zone So We All Get Home.”
When you encounter work zones, PennDOT offers the following tips: drive the posted work zone speed limit; stay alert and pay attention to signs and flaggers; maintain a safe distance around vehicles; use flashers if traveling slowly; avoid distractions; and be patient.
State law requires motorists to travel with their headlights on in all posted work zones, not just active work zones. Daytime running lights are not sufficient; drivers must have their headlights on to also activate their taillights.
Drivers also should be aware that interstate work zones with a project cost exceeding $300,000 will have a speed-monitoring device to alert motorists of their speed prior to entering the work zone.
Remember: The men and women working on our roadways are parents, children, siblings, and spouses. They deserve to return home from work each day safely.
