ARTBA Foundation Recognizes 3M’s Commitment to Work Zone Safety
3M was recognized for its commitment to safety at the American Road & Transportation Builders Association Transportation Development Foundation (ARTBA-TDF) ninth annual "Roadway Work Zone Safety Awareness Awards" event on March 10 at the National Traffic Management & Work Zone Safety Conference in Orlando, Florida.
The competition recognizes outstanding efforts to help reduce roadway work zone accidents, injuries and fatalities. 3M's All Weather Paint pavement marking system was a first place winner in the "Innovations in Technology" category honoring manufacturers that integrate, develop or market innovative technologies.
Driving on rainy nights is a difficult task, particularly through the unfamiliar and changing road geometries of work zones. 3M developed an all-weather paint pavement marking system especially tailored to work zones that helps ensure visibility under all weather conditions.
Other award categories include outreach campaigns and safety training. An independent panel of judges reviewed entries and selected winners.
