Troopers Watching Construction Zones During National Work Zone Awareness Week

National Work Zone Awareness Week

INDIANAPOLIS,Indiana – This week is National Work Zone Awareness Week across the nation. Every year dozens of crashes occur in work zones across Indiana resulting in death and injury to workers and drivers alike. All this week Troopers are keeping a close eye on drivers in work zones using both marked and unmarked patrol vehicles to target aggressive drivers who are speeding, following too closely, changing lanes improperly and disobeying traffic laws. For a driver who breaks the law in a work zone the fine will be a hefty one. Follow the law and watch out for workers in Highway Work Zones. Statistics show that 4 out of 5 people killed in work zones are drivers not highway workers with rear end crashes being the most common. So Stay alert while driving in a work zone.
