Terre Haute, IN (WIBQ) -- Springtime is the time we all need to be a little more cautious on the roads as the orange cones pop up all over. The cones oftentimes are the only things separating fast-moving, two-ton vehicles from road construction crews. Motorists are being asked as the season gets underway to slow for the cone zone and keep road workers safe. Often time we have somewhere to be an hour ago and the cone zones may be seen as a hinderance to out getting there on time. Keep in mind that more than 40,000 injuries occur in work zones. This week is National Work Zone Awareness Week, an annual reminder to use caution while driving near work crews.
