2019 Highway Work Zone Safety Survey

 

Sixty-seven percent of highway contractors report that motor vehicles had crashed into their construction work zones during the past year, according to the results of a new highway work zone study conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America.  In response, association officials have launched a new radio and media campaign urging drivers to slow down and remain alert in highway work zones.

“There are simply too many cars crashing into too many work zones, putting too many lives at risk,” said Brian Turmail, the association’s national spokesman.  “That is why we are launching a nationwide outreach effort designed to better educate motorists about the need to drive with care in highway work zones.”
