Tips For Drivers
Tip 1 Avoid Work Zones If Possible
Heavy equipment, dusty conditions, and traffic
challenges can all be found on streets where
chip sealing is being done.
Its best to find alternate routes while chip
sealing work is underway.
Tip 2 Slow Down!
20 mile-per-hour speed limits will be strictly
enforced in work zones.
For the safety of the work crews and yourself,
Give Em A Brake.
Tip 3 Pay Attention To Signs And Flaggers
Signs and flaggers are there to help you
navigate work zones.
Follow what they have to say and youll make
your way through safely.
Tip 4 Stay Alert and Be Patient
Expect the unexpected. That includes other
drivers not following the rules or making sudden
stops.
Traffic delays in work zones are possible. Build
in a little extra time for your trip if youll be
going through a work zone.
