TxDOT: Jail time now possible concerning roadside work
Body
Mere feet from speeding traffic across our state, thousands of Texas law enforcement personnel, first responders and roadside workers are often separated from fast-moving vehicles by only stripes, cones or barrels. Tragically, many of these officers and workers are killed in crashes every year on the job, which is why Tx-DOT’s “Be Safe. Drive Smart” campaign is calling on Texas drivers to keep roadside workers safe by remembering to “Move Over or Slow Down.”
