OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – April is Work Zone Awareness Month. It’s a time for drivers to recognize the role they play in work zones. Distracted driving in these areas can have impacts on construction delay or deadly consequences.

“Avoid the avoidable,” said Jeff Garder, the Director of Construction for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority.

In front of the State Department of Transportation, a memorial stands tall bearing the names of employees who lost their lives after being hit by cars while doing their job on Oklahoma roadways.

You may remember recent names like Terry Clubb, Ira Henderson, Tim Vandiver, Gordan Pipkin, Jerrell Gray, and Rickie Nichols Jr.
