Distracted Driving
With the increase in orange barrels and the changing traffic patterns because of this project, there have been more car crashes around the construction area, especially during rush hour. One way to protect yourself is to not be distracted by cell phones, GPS devices, MP3 players or anything else that could take your attention away from driving.
