Works Zone Hazards

2003

The number of drivers and vehicles on the road this summer is expected to keep growing. Unfortunately, as these drivers hit the road, approximately 20% of the National Highway System will be under construction. This combination of traffic and work zones means more than just delays and frustration. It means the conditions are prime for construction zone accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 80% of fatalities that occur in a work zone are drivers and passengers.

The number of fatalities in road construction zones has been increasing at an alarming pace. In fact, the pace is even higher when taken in percentage to that of overall highway fatalities.

It is important the drivers take precautions in road construction zones not only for the safety of construction workers and other drivers, but for their safety and that of their passengers.
