Tips for driving safely in work zones
• Stay alert and minimize distractions: Don’t text, talk or adjust controls.
• Expect the unexpected: Normal speed limits may be reduced, traffic lanes may be changed, and workers may be nearby.
• Slow down: Speeding is the major cause of work zone crashes.
• Don’t tailgate: The most common work zone crash is the rear-end collision.
• Pay attention to signs: Warning signs help keep you and other drivers safe.
• Schedule enough time to drive safely: Expect delays and leave early.
