OHIO — As construction ramps up on the roadways, here are a few tips to help drivers keep workers safe.

Drivers should also watch for people walking and on bicycles.

In 2022, 145 people on foot or bikes were killed in work zones.

Lastly, follow Ohio’s move-over law. The law requires drivers to slow down or switch lanes when approaching vehicles with flashing lights.
