National Work Zone Awareness Week is April 26-30, 2021

"Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives" #NWZAW #Orange4Safety

This Year’s Theme

This year, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is hosting the 2021 NWZAW kick-off event on April 27 with the theme, “Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives.”

The themed poster features a vehicle driving along a winding road surrounded by work zone technologies that make work zones safer for workers and motorists.

Drive Safe. A reminder that work zones need everyone’s undivided attention. When approaching a work zone, motorists should always slow down, follow all posted signs, be alert, and remain calm. Risky driving behavior affects more than just the driver – everyone’s lives and families are at stake.

Work Safe. Technology is helping to make work zones safer by collecting data and automating processes, which can remove workers from dangerous situations and provide motorists with important information. It is also a reminder that work zone safety begins with workers who are dedicated to safety.

Save Lives. If we ALL work together, we can achieve zero deaths on our roads and in our work zones!
