Heading to the lake or cabin this long weekend? Chances are, you’ll pass through a construction zone or two along the way.
While you’re focused on getting the weekend started, road crews are still on the job. These workers are operating heavy equipment, working alongside traffic and relying on every driver who passes through to help keep their workplace safe.
🚧 Slow down in construction zones.
👷 Watch for workers and equipment.
🚗 Leave a little extra space.
⏰ Give yourself extra travel time, there’s no need to rush.
A few extra minutes on the highway is a small price to pay to make sure everyone gets home safely.
From all of us at SWS Training, have a safe and enjoyable long weekend!
