The spring and sum­mer of 2011 will bring road and bridge con­struc­tion back to our highways.

Buckle Up! – Every trip, every time – safety belts save lives.

Stay Alert! – Ded­i­cate your full atten­tion to the roadway.

Fol­low Signs! – They’ll guide you through work zones safely.

Expect the Unex­pected! – Watch for flag­gers, work­ers and equipment.

Pay Atten­tion! – Turn the radio down and don’t use your cel­lu­lar phone.

Be Patient! – Remem­ber work­ers are improv­ing the road for future travels.

Don’t Speed!– Fol­low posted lim­its and adjust for weather conditions.

Don’t Drink and Drive! – Impair­ment of any kind is unacceptable.

Be Nice! – Merge as directed, don’t tail­gate and don’t change lanes in a work zone
