NEW: We put safety first when establishing work zones. We also need drivers to do their part and slow down when approaching and traveling through work zones. MORE:
Three highway contractor-construction workers, associated with the I-17 Improvement project, were injured in February when a driver hit a trailer carrying construction equipment in the work zone. A member of our St. David's maintenance crew was hit by a distracted driver last year and severely injured, and is still recovering from the injuries. While working to repair potholes on State Route 260 near Payson, a driver threw a rock at our Northcentral District maintenance crew.
At ADOT, we put safety first when establishing work zones. We designate work zones with signage, barricades, cones and orange or yellow vests. This ensures workers and drivers have enough space to safely navigate through a work zone. Drivers also need to do their part and slow down when driving through work zones.
Besides our transportation crews, we have first responders like law enforcement, firefighters and tow truck operators who also need a safe area to work. When you see these individuals in a work zone, you should slow down for them too., a member of ADOT’s Incident Response Unit sponsored by GEICO, was killed while on duty in 2020, setting up a sign alerting drivers to pavement repairs along Interstate 10 south of Phoenix.
As you approach any work zone, please remind family and friends to obey speed limits and traffic signs, don’t drive distracted, pay attention and be prepared for the unexpected. Safety for our employees and contractors and the driving public will always be my number one priority.
