ODOT reminds motorists to SLOW for the Cone Zone. There are a lot of  variables in work zones - the cones,  signs, equipment and workers. With  reduced speed limits and traffic lane shifts, it’s important to drive  responsibly and be aware of your surroundings in a work zone at all times of  the day - for everyone’s safety.
