This national observance emphasizes the importance of understanding the presence and purpose of these road safety measures.

"National Work Zone Awareness Week is a reminder that every cone, sign, and barrier is there to protect lives. Be sure to stay alert and do your part to keep the road safe for everyone!"

Road infrastructure improvement is vital, but the safety of workers and commuters must remain a priority during construction activities. Drivers are reminded that their actions are key to preventing accidents.
