Overview
Every year, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) embarks on hundreds of construction projects across the state and that does not even include the numerous maintenance activities that are conducted everyday to keep our highways safe.
With every construction zone comes
equipment, workers and even daily changes in the road and alignment you
may be traveling. As a result, it is critical that you do your part to
make the cone zones safe. Lower speed limits, flaggers and police
enforcement are all used to help keep work zones safe, but motorists
still need to drive responsible to keep not only our workers safe, but
yourself as well.
Here are some work zone facts to put work
zone safety into perspective:
- 4 out of 5 work zone fatalities are motorists
- One work zone fatality occurs nationwide every 7 hours (3 a
day)
- One work zone injury occurs nationwide every 15 minutes
