TxDOT creates barrel-snake to raise awareness to construction work safety
April 12, 2022
The sculptures are made of orange traffic barrels that were hit by drivers
In Texas, National Work Zone Awareness Week also marks the beginning of the Texas Department of Transportation's annual "Be Safe, Drive Smart" campaign.
For the occasion, TxDOT officials in Anthony—a West Texas town of about 5,200 people—assembled large sculptures made entirely of orange traffic barrels that were hit by drivers. Among the sculptures were a giant snake and a T-Rex, and they can be found at the Anthony, Texas travel information center.
TxDOT's "Move Over, Slow Down" law requires drivers to shift over a lane or reduce to 20 mph when approaching emergency vehicles, construction areas, tow trucks, or utility vehicles with flashing lights activated. Failure to comply could cost drivers up to $2,000 in fines.
