While lane closure activity will be stopped in Tennessee this Easter weekend, some workers may be on-site in construction zones, and reduced speed limits will still be in effect.
Please also move over and slow down for HELP Units and other first responders assisting motorists.
Only four months into the year, there have already been 31 incidents involving drivers crashing into TDOT vehicles and equipment.
- 7 HELP Trucks
- 3 Attenuators
- 6 Other TDOT Equipment (dump trucks, message boards, etc.)
- 15 TDOT Passenger vehicles (pick-ups and sedans)
Do your part to keep yourself and TDOT road workers safe – check TDOT SmartWay in advance and Know BEFORE You Go, secure your phone in a Hands-Free device, and Work With Us by moving over and slowing down when you see vehicles with flashing lights.
