Caution ahead: New TxDOT Campaign Calls for Safe Driving in Work Zones

Work Zone Awareness Week is April 21–25

AUSTIN — When working on the side of the road, you have to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Driving through work zones requires the same amount of caution.

Family’s tragic loss On September 7th, 2011, college student Katrina Bond slowed down for traffic in a work zone on I-35 in Central Texas when the driver of a heavy pickup truck, who admitted he had just received a text, slammed into her car. The force of the collision pushed Katrina’s car into the path of another truck. She never made it home.
