🚧 SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH: CONSTRUCTION ZONE SAFETY 🚧
Construction is now underway on U.S. Highway 87, and many travelers are experiencing delays while passing through work zones.
While waiting can be frustrating, please remember that these are active roadways with moving traffic, heavy equipment, gravel trucks, pilot vehicles, and construction crews working nearby.
One of the most important things you can do while stopped in a construction zone is stay inside your vehicle. Walking alongside the roadway or between stopped vehicles creates unnecessary hazards for construction workers, emergency responders, motorists, and yourself.
A few extra minutes of patience can help keep everyone safe.
✅ Stay in your vehicle
✅ Stay alert
✅ Watch for instructions from flaggers and pilot vehicles
✅ Slow down and use caution in work zones
Stay in your vehicle. Stay alert. Stay safe.
