Brake It

Daily Egyptian

You've seen the signs, start paying attention.

Last year, 36 construction workers died on the job in the state of Illinois.

Not even one person should die at the hands of foolish drivers. Accidents could be avoided by exercising a little more caution.

Construction has traffic slowed on U.S. 51 south of the Arena. A worker was seriously injured on that same road in April, and already drivers seem to have forgotten the tragedy.

Just a little common sense can save a life.

Besides, "my daddy works here", so "give em' a brake" and "slow down."
