"Life Behind the Cones and Barrels - How Roadway Workers Keep America Moving National Poster Contest" Program
The Foundation's “Life Behind the Cones and Barrels – How Roadway Workers Keep America Moving Poster Contest" program educates young people about work zone safety before they begin to drive. Educated future drivers in grades K-1, 2-4 and 5-6 document their impressions of roadway work and become advocates for safe work zone habits to their family members and friends. Winners receive cash prizes, with a matching gift going to each winner’s school. Enjoy the contest and good luck!
