With a new road construction season underway, Kenosha County urges drivers to slow down and pay attention in work zones.

This year’s theme “Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives.” is a fitting reminder to slow down and give construction crews a brake, said Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser.
“All of those orange barrels that we’re starting to see sprouting up along our roadways are a reminder that men and women are at work in these areas, and it’s our duty as drivers to do our part to keep them safe,” Kreuser said. “That means putting down the phones, slowing down to work zone speed limits, and keeping our eyes out to avoid dangerous situations.”
