Fox Calls on Motorists, Road Crews to Pay Attention to Safety

To highlight National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week, Transportation Commissioner James P. Fox today joined with labor unions, the construction industry, law enforcement and government officials to heighten awareness for maintaining the most protective conditions for roadway construction workers. Fox said the NJDOT now has a federally funded mobile “work zone safety” unit, which regularly visits project sites to inspect safety zones to ensure they comply with federal and state standards. In addition, within the past month NJDOT has begun conducting refresher training at its maintenance yards throughout the state.
