The Alabama Department of Transportation is joining states across the country to observe National Work Zone Awareness Week.⚠
ALDOT encourages drivers to slow down and eliminate distractions whenever they are behind the wheel in work zones. This year’s theme is “You Play a Role in Work Zone Safety. Work With Us.”
According to the department, there were 1,916 work zone crashes in the state, resulting in 18 fatalities and 511 injuries. Most of those fatalities were motorists, passengers and pedestrians. Although, when present, workers are the most vulnerable to injury or death.Don’t drive distracted by texting, eating or other activities that take your hands off the wheel. Look for highway workers, reduced speed limits and narrow driving lanes.
In recognition of this national campaign, Gov. Kay Ivey issued a proclamation naming April 17-21 as Work Zone Awareness Week in the state of Alabama.. Join the national conversation using #NWZAW or locally using #DriveSafeAL.
