Remember to drive safely around O'Fallon work crews

In 2023, O'Fallon road crews will be working on projects all across town to improve and maintain our City's infrastructure. While they're busy improving our City's roads, motorists can do their part by driving safely through road construction zones. When entering a work zone:

• Slow down: Over a third of work zone accidents occur because the driver was traveling too fast. Even when workers aren't visible, obey the posted speed limit.

• Stay focused: Keep your full attention on the road. Never multitask when passing through a work area.

• Be prepared: Traffic could unexpectedly slow or stop, traffic lanes can merge and workers or equipment could enter the roadway.

• Obey signs and flaggers: Flags and warning signs are there to help you move safely through work zones and detours.

• Keep back: Maintaining a safe distance from the car ahead of you can help keep you safe. Rear-end collisions account for 30% of work zone accidents.
