Road construction and maintenance sites pose significant hazards for both workers and motorists. It is crucial to practice careful driving in these areas by reducing speed and staying attentive. National Work Zone Awareness Week, observed from April 21 to 25, emphasizes the importance of these practices, highlighting that each cone, sign, and barrier is strategically placed for safety.

House Minority Leader Tony McCombie encourages the community to contribute to safer road conditions. He states, "every cone, sign, and barrier is there to protect lives" and urges residents to stay vigilant and responsible while driving.

This annual campaign serves as an important reminder of the shared responsibility to ensure work zone safety for all.
