National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 7-11

National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW), which draws attention to the hazards roadway construction crews encounter when motorists fail to heed safety warnings, is April 7-11. The event will be observed on Tuesday, April 8, in Sacramento, California, at the California state capitol and will be hosted by the California Department of Transportation. The theme for this year’s NWZAW is “Slow for the Cone Zone.” Today’s work zone points to tomorrow’s improved roadways for smoother rides, better traffic flow and safer travel in your future.
