The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) says there were 246 citations issued for distracted or inattentive driving in state road work zone crashes in 2024.
“Work zone crashes aren’t just dangerous for our workers. They’re also dangerous for travelers,” WSDOT shared in a news release from earlier this year. WSDOT says in Washington travelers are more at risk in work zones than the workers. In 2024, 96 percent of Washington roadway work zone fatalities and injuries were to drivers or their passengers.
