Save Lives

• Slow down. Work zone speed limits are in place 24/7 to keep motorists and workers safe.
• Pay attention. 85 percent of work zone crashes injure motorists, not workers.
• Be safe. In Illinois, an average of 7,000 crashes occur in highway work zones every year.

Save Gas and Money

• Slow down. A 5 mph decrease in speed can increase your gas mileage.
• Get a tune-up. A poorly tuned engine can increase gas consumption by up to 50 percent.
• Keep tires properly inflated. Fuel economy decreases by 10-20 percent when your tires are low.
