March 23-27 is National Work Zone Awareness Week. There is no better time to remind motorists about the dangers of distracted driving and driving carefully through work zones.
Distracted driving is a serious problem and for CSEA, it’s personal. Too many road workers lose their lives or are injured each year. Since recordkeeping began in 1983, nearly 50 CSEA members have lost their lives on the job in highway work zones.
These incidents are not only tragic, they are preventable.
“In an instant, distracted driving can kill and change lives forever,” said CSEA President Danny Donohue. “Keep in mind that most traffic zone deaths and injuries involve the traveling public; so when you pay attention, the life you save may be your own.”
