The City of Sturgeon Bay is seeing too much thru-traffic in its construction zones from motorists. Engineer Chad Shefchik says the intersections being worked on this year see a lot of usage, so the adjustment is more difficult.

There are dangers to driving through a construction zone. Debris and foreign objects are a hazard to vehicles. Workers are put in jeopardy when they have to try to complete their jobs as they deal with unnecessary traffic. Lastly, it is an inconvenience. Mill and pave projects often tear up the road and curb from the foundation, making it impossible for cars to get through. Having vehicles be forced to turn around inside of a work area only increases frustration for drivers.
