It is said that in Illinois there are two seasons: winter and road construction. It seems that once the snow melts, motorists in Illinois and elsewhere in the United States can rarely find a roadway that is not under construction. And along with roadway construction come the myriad hazards of traffic direction for roadway crews. Because of frequently changing traffic patterns, inattentive drivers distracted by cell phones and GPS devices, and motorists vying for position, construction zones are becoming increasingly dangerous places to work.
