- Expect delays and congestion in and near construction zones and alternate routes. Please be patient. Leave early for work or other appointments.
- Obey all traffic signs, flagging personnel
- Watch for traffic slowdowns and brake lights farther ahead, especially on high-speed highways such as I-90. Leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front. Rear end collisions are the most common type of accidents in work zones.
- Safety for construction workers, motorists, and pedestrians is our number one concern. It is extremely important to be alert for flaggers and construction workers.
- Please drive cautiously and watch for changes in road surface conditions.
- Please slow down. Remember, traffic fines are double in work zones.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember, please slow down in construction work zones and watch for signs
and instructions from traffic flagging personnel. "A split-second of inattention
on your part can result in the serious injury or death of a highway worker."
