Work Zone Safety: We’re All In This Together
Roadway work zones are hazardous both for motorists who navigate through lane changes and slowed speeds and for the dedicated workers whose office is often mere feet away from moving vehicles.
Each year in April, National Work Zone Awareness Week is held to bring national attention to motorist and worker safety and mobility issues in work zones. Since 1999, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has worked with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the American Traffic Safety Services Association to coordinate and sponsor the event. This year’s theme is “Work Zone Safety: We’re All In This Together.”
Researchers at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) are dedicated to improving motorist safety, worker safety and traveler mobility in all types of highway work zones. Read More
