National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is an annual spring campaign held at the start of construction season to encourage safe driving through highway work zones. The key message is for drivers to use extra caution in work zones. The 2025 week starts on April 21.
Individuals can get involved in many ways: participate in events, promote on social media with the hashtag #NWZAW, and hang posters around workplaces. Take action now and participate.
Did you know? The first official NWZAW kickoff event was held in 2000 in Springfield, Virginia. A historical summary, as well as campaign posters throughout the last two decades, can be viewed on the NWZAW website.
