Work Zone Safety Outreach Resources

Work zones present additional road safety challenges, especially for large vehicles. Narrow lanes, sudden stops, shifting traffic patterns, and uneven road surfaces all require extra caution.

Commercial motor vehicles (CMV) are overrepresented in work zone crashes, accounting for nearly one-third of fatal crashes in these high-risk areas. That’s why every road user must stay alert and do their part to keep work zones safe.

Help raise awareness about the importance of driving safely in work zones with the shareable materials on this page.
