State police, NYSDOT announce crackdown on work zone\nviolations in Onondaga County<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state police and the state Department of Transportation announced the continuation of “Operation Hardhat,” a joint effort to crack down on work zone violations and highlight the importance of safe driving through active construction and maintenance work zones on state highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of Troop D will patrol active DOT work zones in Onondaga County this week to enforce work zone speed limits and ensure that motorists are obeying flagging personnel. Troopers will also be on the lookout for motorists who violate the state\u2019s Move Over Law, which applies to emergency and work vehicles. During this enforcement effort, it may not be readily apparent to motorists that troopers are present in the work zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state Department of Transportation recently launched a new\u00a0Public Service Announcement<\/a>\u00a0highlighting the importance of moving over in construction work zones across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Police Superintendent Keith M. Corlett said,\u00a0<\/strong>“Law enforcement and other emergency responders, including highway workers, work in a dangerous environment and risk their lives to keep the traveling public safe. It is important that motorists are aware of their responsibility to follow the rules of the road and know that violations of the Move Over Law and work zone intrusions will not be tolerated.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said,\u00a0<\/strong>“Establishing and maintaining a highway work zone helps keep both our workers and the traveling public safe. As our department\u2019s field staff and the state police face increasing dangers from distracted drivers as they work on our state highways, this is an excellent opportunity to collaborate and raise awareness.\u00a0 I thank the New York State Troopers who will be joining us this week and working towards our shared mission of highway safety.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a similar recent joint initiative in work zones in the Rochester area, 112 tickets were issued for a host of violations, including speeding, use of a cell phone while driving and failure to obey a flagger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency responders and highway workers depend on motorists\nbeing aware of their surroundings, using patience and caution. It is critical\nthat motorists pay attention behind the wheel and eliminate distractions,\nespecially on interstates and other multi-lane highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York\u2019s Move Over Law requires motorists to carefully\nslow down and safely move over when approaching law enforcement vehicles, fire\ntrucks, ambulances, tow trucks and construction and maintenance vehicles\nstopped along the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction and maintenance crews across the state work\nalongside fast-moving traffic each day, knowing their lives depend on drivers\nbeing alert, patient and cautious. It is critically important that motorists\neliminate distractions, pay attention to driving and, on multi-lane highways,\nmove over a travel lane to give highway workers room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding\nin a work zone, and in accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005,\nconvictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in\nthe suspension of an individual’s driver license.
