The State of Alabama is committed to maintaining its roads and highways; there is an enormous amount of continued road maintenance and re construction going on all over Alabama. Much of the work is done at night in order to reduce traffic congestion, which means our workers are harder to see, and driving through a work zone more difficult.
In Alabama the 2006 accidents in work zones were:
Property damage crashes-1846
Injury crashes-518
Number injured-802
Fatal crashes-29
Numbers killed-37
Whitaker Contracting Corporation of Guntersville, Alabama is taking a pro-active approach with their social responsibility as a Contractor working to keep their workers and motorist safe. Everyone driving through a work zone needs to pay Extra-Attention to his or her speed, the current road conditions, changing traffic patterns and our work zone crews. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Lives can be saved if motorist do their part.
