Even one close call is one too many. But it's a reality our highway workers face nearly every day. KDOT employee Brian Link shares his experiences as a reminder for all of us to slow down and pay attention in work zones. bit.ly/3GqZ9qc

In 2024, about 92% of work zone crashes were caused by driver-related circumstances, with inattention being the main cause. Work zone crashes are preventable. Pay attention, slow down and #GiveEmABrake. #GoOrangeKS #NWZAW
