With all construction projects it is important to keep in mind these safety tips :
All fines are doubled in work zones and those are real people standing out there in the orange vests. So most of all SLOW DOWN.
- Stay alert, expect the unexpected.
- Allow ample space between you and the car in front of you.
- Anticipate lane shifts – merge when directed to do so.
- Don't change lanes unnecessarily.
- Don't speed in work zones; obey the posted speed limits.
- Avoid using mobile phones while driving in work zones.
- Be especially alert at night while driving in work zones.
- Be patient!
