43 USER QUOTES Shelly & Sands, INC. Traffic slowed down entering the work zone. drivers looked up from their cell phones. Maryland State Highway Administration Motorists hit the rumble strips and immediately slow down the flagger could hear approaching vehicles Colorado DOT Cars hit the strips and were alerted, most slowed. Not an ideal site due to super elevation, but movement was manageable Marathon County, Wisconsin our crews experienced a safer work area due to the reduced speeds
