Back bills to protect highway workers
This year, Workers’ Memorial Day, a day to remember those who died in the course of doing their jobs, coincides with Work Zone Awareness Week, a week set aside to remind motorists to slow down while traveling in work zones.
Sadly, some motorists can’t be bothered.
Perhaps they are running late and feel they don’t have time to slow down. They might be on their phone and too distracted to notice the signs or maybe they just don’t care.
The result is that too many highway workers are injured or killed in work zones every day.
