PennDOT held its annual Safety Day event, emphasizing the importance of road safety as peak travel season begins across the country.

The event, held at the North East Welcome Center along Interstate 90, featured 91 crosses to honor PennDOT workers who have died in the line of duty since 1970. These crosses serve as a somber reminder of the risks faced by road workers and the importance of driver vigilance.

"It can definitely be tough because of the constant advancement of technology and with what cars are having now," said Saxon Daugherty, Safety Press Officer for PennDOT District 1. "We try to stay on top of that and evolve with the times and make sure we're applying what drivers are seeing out on the road to what we're talking about in these educational opportunities."
