Orange cone season!


Yesterday at the Oregon Department of Transportation we held a press conference to announce the beginning of the summer construction season -- between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Our goal this year is zero fatalities in work zones. Last year in Oregon there were nine. The odd thing is, the people who get injured or killed the most in work zones aren't the workers. It's drivers. And the most common cause of work zone crashes? Inattention.

So, please, this construction be careful when you see the orange cones. Slow down, pay attention.

This has been a public service message from this comic strip. Thank you.
