Road Construction Accidents

Road Construction And Vehicle Related Accidents And Fatalities

Driving in Florida means adapting and adjusting to match the pace and frequency of road construction. In most counties in the state, construction crews are frequently repairing highways or widening roadways or highways, which often creates stop and go traffic. This makes some drivers uneasy, as they find it almost impossible to avoid the sudden changes in the traffic patterns. As a result, they’re bothered by the slow downs and end up speeding through the construction zone or carelessly weaving in and out of lanes.
