Safety Cloud® for Work Zones

Putting the brakes on distracted driving

12 of the 25 most dangerous jobs in the county are in the construction industry. But the work zones that are necessary for creating, maintaining, and upgrading the country's infrastructure can unintentionally be a recipe for chaos. 

Construction crews are often  working on the roads. Unpredictable weather conditions and changing traffic patterns make that work inherently dangerous. In 2024, sixty-four percent of highway contractors in the U.S. experienced motor vehicle crashes in their construction work zones over the past year.

That’s because drivers are more distracted than ever. They text, eat a meal on the road, fiddle with the radio, and more. Even cars themselves can be distracting, too.

Traditional analog alerting like lights and sirens are not enough anymore. These methods typically give drivers less than three seconds to safely react. Construction crews deserve better protection on the road.

Enter Safety Cloud® digital alerting.

Safety Cloud  sends drivers digital alerts up to 30 seconds before they come into contact with a roadway hazard, such as a work zone. This gives drivers extra time to  safely slow down and move over. Studies show that advanced warning systems like digital alerting can reduce the risk of collision by 90 percent compared to traditional lights alone.
