zones killed 15 people, most of them motorists. There are some basic tips for driving safely in work zones: • Expect the unexpected. • Slow down. • Don’t tailgate. Keep a safe distance between you and the car ahead of you. • Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and construction workers and their equipment. • Pay attention to the signs. • Obey road crew flaggers. • Stay alert and minimize distractions. • Keep up with the traffic flow. • Schedule enough time to drive safely. Before you get on the road, check radio, television and Websites for traffic information. (VDOT’s Web site is www.VirginiaDOT.org) • Be patient and stay calm. I hope I don’t meet you in one of our work zones. David J. (Jim) Ford Virginia Department of Transportation
