As the busy summer driving season approaches, the New York state Department of Transportation (DOT) is sounding the alarm on work zone safety. In an effort to reduce the number of accidents and near-misses on state highways, the DOT is observing Work Zone Safety Week, a statewide initiative aimed at educating drivers and workers alike on the importance of caution and vigilance in and around road construction zones. With thousands of workers and millions of drivers expected to converge on New York's roads in the coming months, the stakes are higher than ever for safe and responsible behavior. By highlighting the dangers of distracted driving, speeding, and other hazards, the DOT hopes to prevent tragic accidents and save lives.
