Raise Awareness & Protect Work Zones
Our nation’s roadways require constant maintenance and improvement. Drivers traveling through work zones must slow down, pay attention and follow guidance given so that roadside crews can focus on getting their work done safely and efficiently. More than 100,000 crashes and 888 fatalities occur in U.S. work zones on an annual basis*. These numbers reflect lives lost or significantly changed forever. Join us in supporting increased awareness and driver commitment across the United States by taking the Work Zone Safety Pledge.
I Pledge to
Slow Down
Recognize and act on the reduced speeds posted for work zones.
Move Over
Move out of the lane directly adjacent to the work zone, leaving a buffer lane between the work zone and my vehicle when and if it is safe to do so.
Pay Attention
Avoid distractions and give full attention to work zone operations and roadside workers.
