2020 Work Zone Safety Awareness WeekNational Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) takes place on April 20-24, 2020. This nationwide safety event, now celebrating its 20th year, highlights the deadly dangers of inattention while driving through or working in roadway work zones.

In accordance with CDC guidelines regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, all in-person events have been cancelled.

We strongly encourage each state and locality to take part in National Work Zone Awareness Week this year by using social media (#NWZAW) to remind the public to drive carefully in and around work zones.

Motor vehicle safety is one of the most important things on the roadways, as millions of workers use them as part of their jobs, and motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the U.S. Here are some resources to use on your social media:
