Orange doesn’t have to be scary — unless you ignore it. 🎃 Unlike jack-o’-lanterns, orange signs and cones in work zones are there for your safety. #ObeyTheOrange and follow all posted signage to navigate work zones safely.

Terri the Turtle wants all Connecticut residents to remember to Obey the Orange. When you see the orange cones or signs, that's your signal to take it slow, just like Terri does!

Avoid distractions like phone use, eating, or adjusting controls while driving — especially in work zones. Staying alert helps keep everyone on the road safe, including the workers improving it.

Work zones may slow your drive by a few minutes — but for road workers, it's their office. Create a safe and respectful work environment for those who maintain and improve our roads by obeying all traffic signs as you head out on Connecticut roadways.

Always follow directions in work zones. Road workers are trained professionals who guide drivers safely through construction areas. Following their instructions helps protect you, the workers, and other drivers.

Paving season continues! Our road crews are hard at work improving and maintaining our streets. As you travel, please be aware of active paving zones, raised structures, grooved pavement, and bump warning signs. Your patience and caution help keep everyone safe.

Under every construction hat you see on Connecticut's roadways, there's someone's brother, or husband or father. Drive like your family member is on that highway.

🚧 Work Zone Safety Tip:
Pay attention! When you encounter signs, reduce your speed, proceed with caution, and remain alert for roadway workers.
Safety begins with awareness.

#WorkZoneSafety #ObeyTheOrange #PayAttention

[CT Work Zone Safety @CTWorkZoneSafeT]

Work zones can change in an instant. From lane closures to reduced speed limits, always expect the unexpected. Slow down, stay alert, and drive with caution through every work zone.

"Road Work Ahead" is more than a sign: it means fathers, mothers, and loved ones are ahead. Please drive cautiously, respectfully, and with their lives in mind.

Those signs, cones, and flaggers aren’t there for decoration, they’re protecting road crews. Every work zone you pass through is someone’s workplace. Safety starts behind the wheel.

#WorkZoneSafety #ObeyTheOrange #DriveSafe

[CT Work Zone Safety @CTWorkZoneSafeT]

Every day, road workers risk their lives so you can get where you're going. Behind every cone and barricade is a person with a family. When you drive through a work zone, slow down, stay alert, and put their safety first. 👷‍♂️❤️

Work Zone Safety Tip! When driving with passengers, be sure to set some ground rules in terms of distractions while driving through a work zone; turn the music down, lower conversations and allow yourself to focus on the road.

Our mascot, Terri the Turtle, is here to remind you to always #ObeyTheOrange. Speeding and driving distracted in work zones cause thousands of crashes every year and puts lives in danger. Take it slow like Terri so everyone can get home safely!
