The Tennessee Department of Transportation is joining states across the nation to ask motorists to Work with Us – Move Over and Slow Down for highway workers. TDOT will spread that message statewide during National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 11-15) to improve safety in Tennessee’s interstate and highway construction and maintenance work zones.
In 2021, there were 4,034 crashes in work zones on Tennessee roads. But since TDOT launched their Work with Us – Move Over and Slow Down campaign in 2017, there have been zero (0) job worker deaths. Do your part to keep yourself and TDOT road workers safe – set your GPS in advance and Know BEFORE You Go, secure your phone in a Hands-free device, and Work With Us by moving over and slowing down when you see vehicles with flashing lights.
This Wednesday, April 13th, is “wear orange day”. Please show your support for National Work Zone Awareness by wearing orange. Throughout this week, follow TDOT on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as TDOT will be posting photos, infographics, and videos to broaden awareness of the importance of driving safe and undistracted, especially through work zones.
