Construction zones exist as part of maintaining and improving road conditions. To the workers it is their job site. To drivers they are a nuisance, something that makes it slower to get to our destination. Unfortunately, this mindset endangers workers and nearby drivers. These construction zones are clearly marked with warning signs to lower your speed when approaching the construction area. Avoidable accidents still happen in construction work zones.
In theUnited Statesthere are thousands of injuries and wrongful deaths that happen each year in construction zone areas. In 2010, it was reported that inKentuckyfive people died in highway construction zones.

Improper placement of warning signs, barricades, and other traffic control devices
Not enough personnel to control traffic

Paying close attention to the road, traffic and surroundings is the best way to avoid fatal car accidents in construction zones. It is vital to increase awareness for your own safety, and the safety of construction workers and other drivers. Accidents in work zones can be devastating and can also cause serious traffic problems. All of these accidents are avoidable.
