"Am I not turtley enough for your travel lane?"

For your safety and mine, little turtle… stick to the shoulder.

Remember: As temperatures rise, wildlife activity increases along our roads, so stay alert and watch for animals on or near the road.

Turtle Turtle 🐢
This shelled friend just laid some eggs near Bellmore Creek along the Wantagh State Parkway when our workers saw her moving along.
Always watch for wildlife, both big & small, on the road.

These trucks are built to absorb crashes, but they shouldn’t need to. They’re the last line of defense between traffic and the people keeping our roads safe. Yesterday, that protection was needed.

Slow down. Move over. Stay alert.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

This could happen to you if you aren't paying attention. After passing 1 attenuator truck, a car hit the 2nd one. The trucks were securing a street sweeper on the Long Island Expressway at Exit 62 on Tuesday. Our worker was sent to the hospital.
Slow Down, Move Over, Stay Alert!

Slow down, stay alert, and drive for the conditions. Thankfully, no one was injured but this could have ended very differently. #WorkZoneSafety

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

That was too close for our liking!
Early Friday morning, a car lost control in the rain on the Southern State Parkway btwn Exits 16-17 & just missed 2 @NYSDOT trucks w/ workers inside waiting for the shower to pass.
You control your vehicle! Always drive w/ caution to save lives!
