⚠️ No excuse makes this OK! We continue to hear about motorists harassing, ignoring, or even striking flaggers in work zones. These are real people doing their jobs to keep traffic moving safely. When they have to deal with your frustration, you’re putting lives in danger. Please take this seriously. #WorkZoneSafety #RespectTheFlagger

🚧 This Week at NYSDOT 🚧 Here’s a quick look at just some of the work our crews have been tackling across New York State this week. From maintenance and inspections to construction and emergency response, our teams are working every day to keep New York moving. No matter what a work zone looks like, they all deserve the same respect. Slow down, stay alert, and move over when possible.

The moon landing changed history. Slowing down in a work zone can save a life. 57 years ago this week, we walked on the moon for the first time. We’re not asking you to be that ambitious... just slow down in work zones. When you see orange signs, cones and highway workers, just ease off the gas. One small action from you helps make sure every highway worker makes it home.

Roads to the Revolution: In 1776, the fastest way to travel through the Lake Champlain corridor wasn’t by car. It was by boat. From Whitehall, Colonel Benedict Arnold and his men built a fleet of gunboats and sailed north to confront the British at the Battle of Valcour Island. Although many American vessels were lost, their fierce defense delayed the British advance on Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, buying valuable time for the Continental Army. Today, travelers can explore the same historic corridor along Routes 4, 9 and 9N. More than 250 years later, the route is still connecting communities, just as it connected one of the most important transportation corridors of the Revolutionary War. #America250

During a recent Operation Hard Hat on I-88 in Colesville with our partners at the New York State Police, 55 tickets were issued. Fifty of those were for speeding, including one driver traveling 86 mph through our work zone. Our crews are out there every day working just feet from live traffic to improve the roads we all rely on. Giving them a little extra time and slowing down can make all the difference. Please slow down in work zones.

Today in Rochester, NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez joined state and local leaders to announce a major expansion of our Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement program. Thanks to new provisions in the State Budget, these cameras are no longer restricted to controlled-access highways and can now be deployed in work zones on almost any road across New York State. Work zones are inherently hazardous places, and last year alone, NYSDOT roads saw 366 work zone crashes that injured 58 people and claimed 2 lives. Every single one of our dedicated highway workers deserves to return home safely at the end of their shift. Please slow down, put away distractions, and stay alert. Protect the people who keep New York moving.
