Key safety tips from ALDOT for navigating work zones:
- Slow Down: Obey posted speed limits and be prepared to brake.
- Pay Attention: Avoid distractions like cell phones and focus on the road.
- Be Patient: Work zones may cause delays, but safety is the priority.
- Expect the Unexpected: Be prepared for sudden stops, lane changes, and workers present on the roadway.
ALDOT urges all drivers to take work zone safety seriously. Remember, driving safely in work zones protects both highway workers and other motorists.
