National Work Zone Awareness Week

The National Work Zone Memorial traveled to Tucson March 26th to honor those that have lost their lives in work zones across the country. Ron Jones, General Manager of Trafficade and President of the Arizona Chapter of ATSSA, spoke about the creation and purpose of the memorial.

Unveiled in April 2002, the National Work Zone Memorial is a living tribute to their memory, traveling to communities cross-country year-round to raise public awareness of the need to respect and stay safe in America's roadway work zones. Although several states have created memorials to acknowledge their sacrifice, the National Work Zone Memorial stands as the only monument to the loss of roadway workers, drivers, and public safety personnel in all states. Appropriately titled: Respect and Remembrance: Reflections of Life on the Road.  It has been designed as an everlasting tribute to honor those men, women, and children on a continuous basis.
