Road Fatalities Skyrocket

Abstract:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported America’s road users are being killed at the highest rate in the past two decades. One-third of the crashes can likely be attributed to impaired driving. Struck-by incidents remain the primary cause of worker fatalities and injuries in the transportation construction industry. As the summer construction season peaks, ARTBA urges state transportation agencies and industry firms to be extra vigilant and seek additional protective measures for workers and all road users through road construction zones.
