HIGHLIGHT The Texas Department of Transpor- tation is launching its statewide “Be Safe. Drive Smart” work zone safety campaign. Despite a 16% decrease in trac fatalities in Texas work zones last year, 205 people still lost their lives, and another 788 people were seriously injured in work zone trac crashes. Texas motorists may encounter sin- gle-lane trac, slow-moving heavy equipment, temporary barriers and vehicles that make sudden stops due to construction, said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams. “We’re calling on all Texas drivers to slow down and stay alert when trav- eling through work zones,” Williams said.
