Watch Out For Work Zones

May is the month when work zones begin to pop up along the roadways. Road construction can be inconvenient and quite dangerous on both sides of the orange barrel unless drivers remember the basic guidelines:

· Obey the Orange
· Dedicate your full attention to driving
· Turn on your headlights
· Merge gently
· Slow down
· Keep your distance
· Watch the road
· Use caution at night
· Plan ahead
· Be Patient

The most common crash in the highway work zone is the rear end collision. Did you know that speeding ticket fines are doubled in work zone areas? Call Shadduck Insurance to see how these accidents and violations can affect your auto premium.

Be on the lookout for confused drivers or those cutting in at the last minute. While roadway construction projects may add a few minutes to a trip, those projects will improve roadway conditions and promote safer driving for all motorists. SLOW DOWN AND SAVE A LIFE!
