SRES 613 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution supporting the designation of the week of April 15 through April 19, 2024, as "National Work Zone Awareness Week".

SRES 613 designates the week of April 15-19, 2024, as "National Work Zone Awareness Week" through a non-binding Senate resolution. It highlights statistics on work zone safety, including 956 fatalities and 42,151 injuries in work zone crashes in 2021, and encourages the public to adopt specific safety practices like obeying speed limits, avoiding distractions, and merging properly. The resolution also urges infrastructure operators to use safety technologies, such as the Work Zone Data Exchange, to protect workers and drivers. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws but aims to raise awareness about reducing work zone risks.
