You Play a Role in Work Zone Safety. Work with Us.
National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) kicks off this week across the United States.
NWZAW is held each Spring to raise awareness as roadway work gets into full swing. The goal is to remind everyone of the importance of paying attention as they approach and drive through work zones, so that both roadway workers and motorists remain safe. Drivers are urged to take note of the reduced speed limits, eliminate distractions, and be watchful for roadway workers and their equipment.
This year’s National Work Zone Awareness Week theme is “You play a role in work zone safety. Work with us.”
Watch NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and Team LIUNA driver Tyler Ankrum talk about the importance of work zone safety.
