Driving in Work Zones Fact Sheet / Hoja Informativa Sobre el Manejo en las Zonas de Trabajo

Abstract:

Work zone safety is everyone’s responsibility. It takes engineers, contractors, and traffic control plan supervisors to properly plan and design the work zones; flaggers to guide the public through the work zones; drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians to remain alert and pay attention while entering and driving through the work zones; and local and state government, area police, and emergency responders to help ensure that everyone goes home safe at the end of the day. This factsheet discusses how everyone can do his/her own part to ensure the safety in work zones. / La seguridad de la zona de trabajo es responsabilidad de todos. Se necesitan ingenieros, contratistas y supervisores del plan de control de tráfico para planificar y diseñar adecuadamente las zonas de trabajo; banderilleros para guiar al público por las zonas de trabajo; conductores, ciclistas y peatones que permanezcan alerta y presten atención al ingresar y conducir por las zonas de trabajo; y el gobierno local y estatal, la policía del área y los servicios de emergencia para ayudar a garantizar que todos regresen a casa a salvo al final del día. Esta hoja informativa explica cómo todos pueden hacer su parte para garantizar la seguridad en las zonas de trabajo.
