South Dakota Department of Transportation Secretary Joel Jundt says the designation highlights the deadly dangers of speeding or driving distracted in work areas.

Jundt says people are invited to participate in GO ORANGE DAY Wednesday (April 28) as a visual reminder everyone can play a role in work zone safety. He encourages businesses, organizations, individuals, families and friends to wear some orange apparel, take creative photos and share the pictures on social media using the hashtag #orange4safetysd.
