Afasneh from our @VaDOTNOVA District put it best with this one — Drive slow. We all deserve safety. Obey the signs. Reduce your speed. Stay alert. Because getting there a few seconds faster isn't worth putting lives at risk. #WorkZoneAwarenessWeek #NWZAW #VAHwySafety

Closing out National Work Zone Awareness Week with a message from our families to yours: every work zone is someone’s loved one. Drive safely. 🧡 #NWZAW2026 #SafeActionsSaveLives

National Work Zone Awareness Week may be ending, but the focus on work zone safety never should. Remember to slow down, stay alert, and pay attention in work zones all year long. #Orange4Safety ops.fhwa.dot.gov/wz/outreach/wz… #NWZAW #WorkWithUs #SafeWorkZones #Orange4Safety

🧡We really mean it when we say this. You matter. We matter. Ditch the distractions. Slow your speed. Phone down. Eyes up. Watch for signs, barrels & cones. Move over when you can. Let's work together to both get home safely. #NWZAW #WorkZoneSafety #NationalWorkZoneAwarenessWeek

As National Work Zone Awareness Week wraps up, we remind drivers to make safe driving in work zones a habit. Slow down. Pay attention. Move over, if possible. Repeat these actions — year-round — to make sure everyone gets home safely each day. #NWZAW

A man mistakenly drove his convertible into newly laid concrete along this road in @ArlingtonVa in 1960. No one was injured but many other work zone incidents end in tragedy. During National Work Zone Awareness Week spread the word: Safe Actions Save Lives. #NWZAW #FBF
