In general, many people probably
don't think twice about the possi-
bility of getting run over by a pass-
ing motorist, but to a highway
worker, it's an ever present fear.
Ask any transportation worker
what it's like to work along the
highway with cars zooming past at
55-plus mph, and they 11 all tell you
the same thing, "At times it's
scary, especially when you hear
those big trucks grinding down
their gears in order to slow to a
stop. I could tell stories about the
time I came close to getting hit."
One worker recalled the day he
did get hit. "I was out on the
highway flagging traffic while the
rest of the crew was laying asphalt.
I was doing my job--protecting the
crew. I looked one direction and
turned back to flag the traffic when
a truck swerved out of the traffic
lane onto the ramp and caught me
with its right fender. The only thing
I could do was push off the fender
to get away. The driver turned back
andlooked, but did not stop. Now,
I have to have my wrist operated
on, and the driver still hasn't been
found."
The above incident is true. It's
like a nightmare come true to many
transportation workers. According
to Oklahoma Transportation Direc-
tor, Verne Bradley, four injuries
and one fatality have occurred over
the past year in highway construc-
tion are,. In addition, stories
about near misses are common to
anyone who has ever flagged traf-
fic in a construction zone.
Cf the five incidents mentioned
above each was attn%uted to either
excess driver speed, drinking and
driving, or driver inattentiveness.
"Although Oklahoma's vehicle/
worker related accident figures are
not astounding," Bradley said,
"one injury, let alone a fatality, is
devastating. Each day a transpor-
tation worker goes out to patch a
pothole or check a sign, he or she
is putting his or her life on the line,"
he added.
Within the last year, four crew
cabs equipped with flashing arrow
boards were also demolished by in-
attentive or impaired motorists.
In addition, some motorists in-
tentionaily disregard flagmen and
highway warning signs, because
they see them as obstacles to
"their" routine on"their" highway.
Bradley cited an incident when
one vehicle ran over signs, markers
and barricades before coming to
rest on a crew cab. The driver's
response was that he didn't see
