European Road Workers' Awareness Day campaign to draw attention on people working for the safety and comfort of drivers on motorway
The European Road Workers’ Awareness Day, observed on June 25 under the slogan #(S)heWorks #ICare, is supported by motorway operators Bina-Istra d.d., Hrvatske autoceste d.o.o., and Autocesta Zagreb-Macelj d.o.o. This day aims to raise awareness about the people working to ensure the safety and comfort of drivers on motorways.
There is a significant increase in Accidents involving personnel working on motorway who are vulnerable people. These accidents mainly concern motorway patrol officers but also all other workers that intervene on motorways for the safety of all (police, firemen, emergency services, towing companies).
These accidents are in many cases the consequence of episodes of drowsiness or inattention from drivers whose are diverted from the road, by dangerous use of screens (smartphones, tablets, GPS ...).
Motorway companies warn of these risky behaviors that endanger the lives of patroller and drivers and call for the mobilization of all actors for a change in behavior and awareness of the danger caused using screens.
A European day campaign “#S(he) Works #Icare” aims to increase awareness of the dangers of irresponsible behavior as well as to increase the safety of drivers on motorways which is a major priority for road infrastructure operators.
We thank you for taking care.
