Work zone fatalities reached a 16-year high in 2020 with over 857 deaths and 45,000 injuries occurring in work zone crashes. Traffic fatalities continue to increase in the US. While some work zone crashes decreased slightly from 2019 to 2020, increased speed-related crashes offset any gains. It is important for all drivers to commit to making work zones safer by slowing down and remaining focused when driving through them. Implementing effective traffic control plans that employ safety strategies and technologies can help reduce risks for workers and drivers.
