Safe Work Zones
Working on or near traveled roads is one of the most dangerous environments workers face. In addition to the number of hazards of the work itself, workers are forced to grapple with reckless and unsafe drivers. Work zone accidents endanger hundreds of New Yorkers each year, and the problem is only getting worse. It is time for New York to protect our workers, improve safety in highway work zones, and curb unsafe driving behavior.
Contact your legislator and ask them to increase protections for highway workers!
