Vtrans Officials Urge Caution as Road Construction Season Begins

As road construction begins across the state, Vtrans officials highlight cautious driving.

Vermont transportation leaders highlight the importance of cautious driving as construction activities commence across the state. 

In the coming months, significant roadwork is scheduled on Vermont’s interstates and state highways. Officials from the Agency of Transportation are emphasizing the necessity for motorists to slow down and allow sufficient space for work crews when navigating through construction areas. Those who exceed the speed limit in these zones may encounter severe penalties.

This year, the enforcement of regulations pertaining to commercial vehicles will involve assistance from the Department of Motor Vehicles in specific work zones. The construction engineer at VTrans noted that adherence to speed limits in these areas is crucial for ensuring the safety of all road users.

While there was a proposal discussed among lawmakers regarding the installation of traffic cameras in construction zones, it did not progress due to disagreements about enforcement responsibilities.
