While driving on state highways,  be observant for warning signs or notices that you are approaching a work zone. 

While in a work-zone, it is important that you go the posted speed limit at all times.  It is also important to take several other precautionary steps.  Do not become distracted with the phone or other items.  A work-zone may pose several different hazards that are not part of a normal drive.  You must be observant for workers on or at the side of the road.  Also be observant for patches of road where construction is occurring.  Sometimes the road can be uneven or may contain an area that would be dangerous to drive over at high speeds. 

Taking this steps, you should be able to increase the safety of yourself and others in work-zones.
