The Local Road Research Board released two new videos focused on work zone safety. "Construction Zone Safety: Our Responsibility" features Scott Gabrio, a MnDOT maintenance worker who was seriously injured by a distracted driver in a construction zone. "Road Closed Signs: Beware and Be Aware" describes a tragic accident that occurred in Cambridge, Minn., when a driver ignored a “Road Closed” sign and drove into a 30-foot-deep trench. Both videos are available on the Research Services YouTube channel.
