Traffic Fatality Awareness Day looks to help make Illinois roads safer

With traffic deaths on the rise in Illinois and throughout the country, Governor Bruce Rauner has announced today as Traffic Fatality Awareness Day in Illinois.  The proclamation was announced by the Illinois Department of Transportation and several other partners.  IDOT Secretary Randy Blankenhorn says the solution to fatalities is drivers making better decisions.

 

 

 
Current work being done by IDOT and their supporters includes crashed cars on display at rest areas as a physical reminder of the importance of responsible driving, dynamic message signs, and continued development on improved safety in work zones.  Earlier this year, IDOT introduced Life or Death Illinois, a multimedia campaign that includes vivid imagery and statistics to underline the importance of safe driving.  For more information visit www.lifeordeathillinois.com.
