Work Zone Safety Legislation moves forward
Those who know me, personally or professionally, know that my latest legislative project in South Carolina has been to seek to rewrite and toughen laws on work zone enforcement. While the challenge of making work zones safer has been a professional problem for years, it became much more personal back in March of last year when a drunk driver entered a lane closure, ramming and destroying my personal vehicle while I was doing a site inspection.
- Presently, S.C. Highway Patrol coverage in work zones is paid for out of SCDOT construction funding, taking millions of dollars from construction projects. But there are other costs as unsafe work zones require more protective measures and increase costs for the state and contractors alike.
- Some of the costs for those measures are tacked onto construction bids and other costs are absorbed by contractors directly or indirectly through higher insurance premiums which follow work zone incidents. Also, workers are less productive and more cautious in hazardous work situations, slowing work down and increasing costs for construction. Thus tougher work zone enforcement is intended to save lives, speed up construction and reduce the costs of these projects.
