Highway work is dangerous work, often just inches away from speeding traffic. Help keep our workers and everyone on the road safe by slowing down in work zones and driving like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe.

This month, TxDOT is highlighting safety tips in work zones to help protect workers and drivers.
