Motorists Urged To Slow Down In Work Zones
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Acting Secretary Milt Sees and Illinois State Police (ISP) Director Larry Trent are warning drivers to be alert and slow down in work zones as the 2007 highway construction season kicks off. For the second year, State Troopers will be enforcing Illinois’ tough work zone speeding law with photo enforcement vans that snap photos of speeding cars.
Also this year, Dunkin’ Donuts will be honoring and thanking road construction workers across Illinois during Work Zone Safety Week by offering free coffee to construction and maintenance workers outfitted in lime green safety vests on Friday, April 6.
“April is the month when highway construction gets underway and we want the public to know that it is critical that they slow down and be on the lookout for workers and equipment in these work zones,” said IDOT Acting Sec. Milt Sees. “Our goal is to protect the lives of both the many dedicated workers who are improving our roadways, as well as drivers and passengers traveling through work zones. Thanks to strict enforcement by the State Police, we have been making steady progress in reducing work zone fatalities in Illinois.” Read more at dot.state.il.us.
