The Texas Department
of Transportation is pro-
moting its “Be Safe. Drive
Smart." campaign as part
of National Work Zone
Awareness Week. April
7-11.
In 2013. 84 percent of
work zone fatalities were
motorists rather than work-
ers. The campaign reminds
drivers to slow down, stay
alert, and obey traffic signs
to protect themselves and
roadside workers.
In Texas, there can be
more than 2.500 active Tx-
DOT work zones at any given
time. Last year. 17.266 work
zone crashes resulted in 3.522
serious injuries and 115 fatali-
ties. As roadway maintenance
and construction efforts con-
tinue to address a state popula-
tion that grows by about 1.000
people per day. drivers should
expect to encounter a work
zone at any time.
In many work zones, posted
signs warn drivers that traf-
fic fines can increase if they
disobey posted speed limits
and other warning signs. Since
1938. TxDOT has lost 103
employees to a third-party
vehicle crash on or near a
roadway.
Outside of TxDOT work
z;ones. drivers also are re-
minded to move over or slow
down when approaching work
crews, vehicles and other
equipment performing main-
tenance and clean-up along
roadways. Failure to do so can
result in a fine up to $2,000.
During National Work
Zone Awareness Week. Tx-
DOT’s permanent dynamic
message signs along state
highways and roadways will
remind drivers to use caution,
be safe and drive smart in
work zones.
