Nation’s top highway official calls for slower driving in work zones Nation’s top highway official calls for slower driving in work zones 4/8/08 Quote: WASHINGTON – Urging everyone to drive slowly and carefully through highway work zones as repair crews work along the nation’s highways, Acting Federal Highway Administrator Jim Ray joined state transportation officials today in kicking off the ninth annual “National Work Zone Awareness Week.” “As thousands of highway repair crews head back to work this season, America’s drivers must remember that a work zone is the workplace of thousands of men and women,” said Ray. “Driving slowly and carefully keeps everyone safer.” Ray noted that, because motorists are four times more likely to be injured or killed in a work zone than highway workers – often due to other drivers who may be speeding – which is why the slogan this year is “Slow for the Cone Zone.” There were 1,010 fatalities in 2006, and work zone fatalities nationwide have increased over the last decade by nearly 50 percent. More than 3,000 work zones are expected on U.S. highways by mid-summer, the peak of travel season. http://www.thetrucker.com/News/Stori...workzones.aspx
