National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is an annual spring campaign held at the start of construction season to encourage safe driving through highway work zones. The key message is for drivers to use extra caution in work zones. NWZAW will be held April 11-15.
This year's theme is “Work zones are a sign to slow down.”
In 2019, 842 people were killed in 762 fatal work zone crashes, according to the most recent data available from workzonesafety.org.
