5 accidents in 1 week in a 5 mile stretch of interstate, to be precise.
From the article:
“A witness, Melissa Martin said the driver didn’t recognize the slowdown fast enough and totaled his car’s bumper trying to avoid the SUV in front of him.
“This is the third wreck I’ve seen this week, and it’s the same thing every time, maybe a sign a few miles back would help drivers a little in preparing for the slowdowns,” said Martin.”
Stop me if you’ve heard this from us before, but we have a product that would help drivers prepare for a queue in a work zone.

A follow-up to the post below…
From the article published in today’s Plain Dealer, the Cleveland daily newspaper:
“The Ohio Department of Transportation is investigating how it can reduce speed limits in temporary night construction zones following the recent deaths of two workers.”
Well, as we’ve posted before, we have a product for that. Our RoadQuake Temporary Portable Rumble Strip alerts drivers to changing road conditions through visual, audible and vibratory warnings.
Recent tests indicate that RoadQuake will also reduce driver speed, and we’ll convey that information to our friends and colleagues at Ohio DOT very soon.

From the article:
“…motorists must also do their part and give work zones their undivided attention,” said Jocelynn Clemings, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation District 12.
[Clemings continued:]
“Construction zones deserve our undivided attention and motorists are urged to slow down, avoid distractions and just plain pay attention in Ohio’s work zones.”
PSS manufactures and markets a product, RoadQuake Temporary Portable Rumble Strip, that alerts drivers to changing road conditions. Visit our web site, plasticsafety.com, for more details.
We do not know all of the circumstances of this tragedy, but we believe passionately that RoadQuake can save lives, and its use may have saved Mr. Roginski’s life.
Our condolences to the Roginski family.
