“Speed kills" is nowhere more true than in work zones, where reduced clearances and shifting roads heighten risks for both motorists and crew.

In February, NOCoE hosted a peer exchange on work zone safety focused on leveraging TSMO strategies to boost safety and efficiency. Agency peers engaged in collaborative problem-solving, sharing real-world successes, challenges, and lessons learned across key areas, including:
• Workforce training and development
• Work zone technologies and data exchanges
• Traveler information and messaging

This exchange provided a vital roadmap for agencies to adapt proven practices to help save lives.
