Think of #Children When You See #RoadWorkers, They're #Mom's and #Dad's too!

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

“Caltrans workers toil along California roadways with vehicles flying by just feet—or inches away,” said California State Transportation Agency Secretary Brian Kelly. “This public awareness campaign reminds us all that highway workers have families and loved ones who are counting on motorists to ‘Be Work Zone Alert’ and help save lives.”

“The children of our workers are proud of their parents and are asking all drivers to help keep workers safe by staying alert in highway work zones,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.

California law requires all drivers to move over if safe to do so, or slow down when they see amber flashing lights on Caltrans vehicles.

Highway construction is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Since the 1920s, 183 Caltrans employees have been killed on the job—and the risk of death is seven times higher for highway workers than for average workers in any other industries, according to the latest data from the California Department of Industrial Relations. On average 1,000 Caltrans vehicles are struck each year—more than three each day.

“All it takes is a split second of inattention to destroy the lives of so many people,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. “The CHP hopes this educational campaign will help raise awareness and prevent these completely preventable tragedies from occurring.”

Watch out for those Mom's and Dad's!
