FHWA, AASHTO, ATSSA, States Sponsor Work-Zone Safety Events
Abstract:Major organizations involved in highway construction and maintenance held the fourth annual National Work Zone Awareness Week event Tuesday – highlighting the stark fact that more than four out of five people killed in work-zone wrecks are drivers and passengers. Many state transportation departments held similar events this week, including one that put Utah DOT Director John Njord’s “work zone” – his desk – in the middle of a highway median strip to dramatize the danger of nearby vehicle traffic.
