Work zone traffic safety

Workers near traffic are at risk from drivers who are distracted or going too fast.

Key points

• Set up signs and cones before work starts.
• Wear high-visibility clothing.
• Face traffic when you can.
• Stay inside the work zone.
• Use a flagger when traffic must be controlled.

Ask the crew

• Where does traffic come closest today?
• Who is setting up and checking the cones?
