Welcome to National Work Zone Awareness Week!

I had no idea that there was such a thing because drivers should use caution not only in work zones but, everywhere they drive.

Victoria Police remind those of us in the Crossroads that work zones can be dangerous for the men and women who work there and, for drivers. They also offer these tips:

Be observant of warning signs and barricades indicating you are approaching a work zone

Slow down

Move over to a safe lane before entering the work zone

Minimize distractions

Expect the unexpected

Watch for changing traffic patterns

Don’t tailgate

Watch for workers and their equipment

Be patient

If necessary, take an alternate route.

Remember, road work means progress!
