Campaign urges motorists to slow down for road workers

Wed, 08 Nov 2023

A campaign aimed at protecting people who have to work in the road during their day-to-day jobs has been launched.

‘Slow down for road workers’ is being promoted by the Isle of Man Government through its involvement with a multi-agency forum that helps co-ordinate construction, maintenance and repairs for a range of services.

The campaign’s message is a simple one and aims to make motorists mindful of their speed when approaching or driving through road works.

An increasing number of reports of inconsiderate and even aggressive driving have been recorded by the agencies and has prompted the campaign to raise awareness of the risks staff face through a unified approach.
