" Work Zones Need Your Undivided Attention "

Be Alert - Stay Focused - Stay Informed - Keep Safe

Work Zone Awareness week events are held across the nation to educate drivers about work zone safety and to remember the motorists and workers who have lost their lives in work zone collisions. Sadly, two ODOT workers were killed in work zone accidents this past year, bring the total number of ODOT workers killed in the line of duty to 56, more than any other state agency. Overall in 2011, 13 people were killed and 789 injured in 1,427 motor vehicle collisions in work zones statewide, the second highest number of work zone collisions and greatest amount of injuries in any recent year.
