Talking Michigan Transportation: After a Series of Work-Zone Crashes, What Can Be Done?

This podcast features Gregg Brunner, chief operations officer at the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), reflecting on two recent fatal crashes in or near highway work zones. Brunner emphasizes that safety must be a daily mindset rather than a checklist, urging vigilance from both workers and drivers. He also highlights the potential of emerging driver-alert systems and advanced driver-assist technologies, as promoted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to help reduce future tragedies.
