You Can Protect Construction Workers

March 14, 2013

Outdoor construction season is starting and you will see plenty of road work this season.

Construction work is dangerous, especially working on roads and highways. Please, give the road workers a brake. Imagine trying to work and having the vehicle buzz you within a few feet at 60 miles an hour or more.

I know and represent many construction workers. They are hard-working men and woman, performing challenging jobs to take care of their families. Let’s keep them safe. Let’s prevent construction site accidents.

In the work zone:

  • Drive the posted work-zone limit.
  • Stay alert and a attention to signs and flaggers – not a cell phone.
  • Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, don’t tailgate.
  • Expect the unexpected.
  • Be patient.
