Your partnership is critical to ensuring the safety of our workers. When you see flashing amber lights, please slow down and move over— it’s the law. 🚨

Safe driving is a choice.
Please take a moment to remember and honor the 194 valiant Highway Workers who have perished on the job since 1921.
When you get behind the wheel, remember that a moment of safety can prevent a moment of silence. #DriveSafe #BeWorkZoneAlert #SlowDown
