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.

NWZAW 2025 will be held April 21-25, hosted by North Carolina Department of Transportation. NWZAW highlights the deadly dangers of inattention at highway work areas. The 2025 weeklong commemoration includes:

• Work Zone Safety Training Day - April 21

• National Kickoff Event - April 22

• Go Orange Day - April 23

• Social Media Storm - April 24

• Moment of Silence - April 25. The moment of silence was started in 2022 to remember the men and women whose lives were lost in a work zone incident
