ARTBA Urges Motorist Caution in Work Zones During National Transportation Week

As America celebrates National Transportation Week (NTW) May 10-16, 1998, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) is calling on motorists to pay special attention and drive carefully through road construction sites. To help address this problem, ARTBA and the federal government recently created a National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse provides transportation agencies, law enforcement departments, highway designers and contractors, labor unions, insurance companies, motor clubs and other interested parties with a wealth of information on how to make road construction zones safer for motorists, pedestrians and highway workers.
