Contractors to drivers: Go slow in highway work zones
Associated General Contractors of America tries to reduce risk to workers
Sixty-seven percent of highway contractors report that motor vehicles 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 (AGC). In response, the AGC has 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 AGC national spokesman Brian Turmail.
