2019 Work Zone Awareness Week Appreciation to all who helped us get the message out asking drivers to slow down and pay attention while driving through work zones during National Work Zone Awareness Week. This year's theme was "Drive like YOU work here." This annual spring campaign highlights the beginning of the road construction season and is a reminder to drivers to use even more caution when driving through work zones. Work Zone Awareness WEEK may be over, but we ask that everyone continue to get the message out to drivers to PLEASE Slow Down and Pay Attention when driving through work zones.
Thanks to all who attended the Press Conference at ALDOT’s Office
And the City Council meeting!
Each year AGC of America conducts a survey of members involved in highway construction work to evaluate the state of highway work zone safety. We want to collect information on the number, severity, impacts and potential solutions to highway work zone crashes. Our intention is to use the information we collect from this survey as the main focus of a media and public education campaign we will launch the week before Memorial Day, the traditional start of the summer driving season.
Please take a few brief moments to complete this important highway work zone safety survey by May 15th. And of course, please do not hesitate to contact Brian Turmail at 703-459-0238 or [email protected] with any questions, comments or concerns about this survey and our plans to promote highway work zone safety through the data.
Thank you in advance for making the time to complete this survey.
