2019 National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 8-12

National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is held to bring national attention to issues in work zones.

Every year more than 700 people are killed in roadway work zones. Construction companies are dedicated to ensuring the safety of their workers and the driving public. Roadway work zones use a variety of warning systems, barriers, and other traffic controls to make sure that drivers and work zones stay separated, but it just takes a moment of distraction for an accident to happen and for lives to be changed forever.

NAPA, APA, SAPA along with many organizations have come together to create an amazing toolkit to use during NWZAW and year-round. The toolkit includes social media content, infographics, videos and more. Click to check out the WATCHFOR.US campaign.
