Orange work-zone barrels are appearing all around us, and while construction projects often can lead to traffic delays, we remind everyone about the importance of driving safely through construction zones.
That’s the message being shared once again during National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week, an annual event designed to remind drivers to be patient, slow down and pay attention in road construction areas. This year’s event runs through this Friday.
Statistics from across our region show just how dangerous work zone accidents can be.
Ohio, for example, has recorded more than 32,500 crashes in work zones since 2015, with 126 people being killed in 114 of those accidents. Law enforcement has issued more than 72,500 citations during that period, with 34 percent of those being for driving 20 mph or more over the posted speed limit.

It’s a familiar situation for drivers: They see a stopped vehicle in the emergency lane on the right side of the road, with a police officer or first responder providing aid.
For safety reasons, drivers in the right-hand lane have been encouraged to slow down or, ideally, to move to the left lane, if possible, to give the stalled vehicle and those assisting a little more room to maneuver.
However, motorists aren’t always accommodating in these situations. The results can be fatal.
