A safe zone for everyone

摘要

APRIL 4-8 IS NATIONAL WORK ZONE AWARENESS WEEK 2011, and I wish its sponsors would extend the observance to a month. It seems like during every construction season, I turn on the local news and hear a story about a roadway worker being struck by a vehicle in a work zone. One that has stuck with me detailed a horrific incident in nearby northwest Indiana last year in which a motorist speeding through a work zone struck a construction worker with such force that the worker's body crashed through the windshield and landed on top of the driver. Chances are good you have heard equally disturbing stories in the state where you live.
