CMV Safety in Work Zones

Roadway workers play an essential role in ensuring our roadways are safe for all users. In order to accomplish this, workers are put in an extremely vulnerable position. Large trucks and buses, due to their increased size and weight, present a particular hazard to roadway workers when a crash occurs. In 2021, 33.3% of fatal work zone crashes involved a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), part of an upward trend across the preceding ten years.

Federal Highway Administration Resources

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, supports the design, construction, and maintenance of State, local, federal, and tribal-owned roadways. As part of this function, FHWA provides numerous resources regarding work zone safety. We encourage to pass the following resources on to relevant parties.
