Work Zone Safety.mp4

Debbie Thompson has made it a priority to speak on behalf of her son about the dangers of road side work. She works with TDOT to spread the message.

"It should be an everyday thing in someone's mind when they see a work zone to slow down, be cautious, and be courteous to those who are working on the side of the road," she said.

She also helped to implement a driver's education work zone safety course at Jeffrey's high school in Hawkins County.

TDOT said it's important to pay attention in work zones not just for the worker's safety but for your own. Many work zone crashes also affect drivers.

In work zones, TDOT advises that you should slow down, put your cell phone away, and give the road your undivided attention
