SGI launches July spotlight: Slow down in orange zones
The summertime means construction season is well underway and SGI is reminding drivers to help keep workers safe.
SGI announced highway construction safety as the focus of July’s Traffic Safety Spotlight at a construction zone along the Trans-Canada Highway east of Balgonie on Wednesday morning.
Drivers are reminded to obey the signage and slow to 60 kilometres per hour or the speed that is posted when passing through construction zones, regardless of whether they see a worker present.
“You’re going to see a lot of highway construction this summer. The whole province is really under construction. It’s just really important to slow down and obey those reduced speed limits,” said SGI’s Tyler McMurchy.
