Every year, CDOT embarks on hundreds of construction projects across the state, and that doesn’t even include the numerous maintenance activities they conduct every day to keep the highways safe. With every construction zone comes equipment, workers, and daily changes in the road and alignment you may be traveling. As a result, it’s critical you do your part to make the cone zones safe. Lower speed limits, flaggers and police enforcement are used to help keep work zones safe, but motorists still must drive responsibly to keep themselves and our workers safe.

Use these safe-driving tips when traveling through cone zones. Remember: In Colorado, the fines are doubled for most infractions in a work zone.

Expect the unexpected – Normal speed limits may be reduced, traffic lanes may be changed, and people may be working on or near the road.

Slow down – Speeding is one of the major causes of work zone crashes.

Don’t tailgate – Keep a safe distance between your car and the car ahead of you. The most common crash in a highway work zone is a rear-end collision, so leave two car lengths between you and the car in front of you.

Be aware of constructions crews – Keep a safe distance between your vehicle, and the construction workers and their equipment.

Heed signs – The warning signs are there to help you and other drivers move safely through the work zone. Observe the posted signs until you see the one that says you’ve left the work zone.

Obey flaggers – Flaggers know what’s best for moving traffic safely in the work zone. A flagger has the same authority as a regulatory sign; you can be cited for disobeying his or her directions.

Stay alert and minimize distractions – Dedicate your full attention to the roadway, and avoid changing radio stations or using cellphones while driving in a work zone.

Keep with the traffic flow – Help maintain traffic flow and posted speeds by merging as soon as possible. Don’t drive right up to the lane closure and then try barge in.

Plan your drive – Schedule enough time to drive safely, and check radio, television and websites for traffic information. Expect delays, and leave early so you can reach your destination on time.

Be patient and stay calms – Work zones aren’t there to personally inconvenience you. Remember: The work zone crew members are working to improve the road and make your future drive better.

Movement is permitted 1/2 after sunrise until 1/2 hour after sunset, Monday through Sunday. Travel is permitted 24 hours a day with lighting as required on the permit. Local restrictions apply in Boise, Caldwell, Idaho Falls and other cities. Holiday travel may depend on dimensions and will referenced in the permit.

Idaho Road Conditions And Closures

The Idaho Transporation Department’s policy is to plan, design, construct, maintain and operate safe and efficient Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) zones. Goals and objectives of the Idaho Transportation Department are to provide a safer environment for highway workers and the travelling public, work toward “zero deaths” in work zones, maintain or reduce project maximum travel delays stated in the construction contract, implement training programs for those involved in planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and providing Law Enforcement in work zones and managing incidents.

Don’t Be A Distracted Driver – To protect yourself, it’s important that you dedicate your full attention to the roadway while traveling in a construction zone.

Don’t Forget Special Penalties Apply – When you are in a construction zone, there is an additional $50 penalty for breaking the posted speed limit. Speeding in a construction zone is particularly dangerous since workers may be present just a few feet away from your vehicle. In addition, heavy work vehicles are unable to stop quickly. For example, a loaded 80,000 lb. tractor-trailer requires almost 50% more stopping distance than a standard passenger vehicle. Remember too that posted speed limits in construction zones assume that you are in perfect weather conditions. If the weather is poor, you may need to drive even slower. Keep your speed consistent with traffic flow and do not resume your normal driving speed until you see signs indicating that it is safe to do so.

The chart below describes when the holiday hours, weekend hours, and hours of darkness restrictions are in effect when the observed holiday falls on different days of the week. Other common state and federal holidays are intentionally not included in this list and therefore holiday hour restrictions do not apply to them, though the normal restrictions for weekend hours and hours of darkness do apply. These restrictions correspond to WASHTO guidelines.

Running Hours and Holiday Restrictions

One-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset, Monday through Friday. No OS/OW permit travel on weekends and New Hampshire State Holidays  (New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving day, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Day).

In any work zone along any road, normal speed limits may be reduced, traffic lanes may be changed, and people and vehicles may be working on or near the road.

Diamond-shaped orange warning signs are posted in advance of road construction projects. Slow down! Be alert! Pay attention to the signs!

A “flagger ahead” warning sign may be posted in the work zone. Be prepared to slow down, stop, change lanes, etc. Be prepared to obey the flagger’s directions.

When indicated, merge as soon as possible. Don’t zoom right up to the lane closure, then try to barge in.

Slow down when the signs say to. A car traveling 60 m.p.h. travels 88 feet per second. If you’re going 60 m.p.h., and you pass a sign that states, “Road Work 1,500 feet,” you’ll be in that work zone in 17 seconds.

The most common crash in a highway work zone is the rear-end collision, so remember to leave two seconds of braking distance between you and the car in front of you.

Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and traffic barriers, trucks, construction equipment and workers.
