New law focuses on awareness around construction zones

Justin Powell, South Carolina transportation chief, is visiting DOT maintenance offices in all counties and spreading the word about the new law on driver awareness around highway construction zones.  Governor McMaster late last month signed the Construction Work Zone Driver’s License Training bill. The Department of Motor Vehicles must now have online materials that present testimonials and information on the importance of slowing down in a work zone.  And the DMV now must keep a record of those who have completed the training that’ll help make the roadways safer for work crews and drivers.
