    PennDOT construction workers authorized to write police arrest reports

    This should be interesting....

    To combat these unsafe drivers, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation highway crews are writing more and more police arrest reports targeting dangerous driving through construction zones.

    The road crews only have the ability to make the initial report. The reports are then sent to the proper policing agency for further investigation. If the police find the driver was in violation of the law, then a citation is issued.

    “Someone who drives in and puts another’s life in jeopardy, we follow that up,” Mike Cotter, press safety officer for District 4-0, said Wednesday as a PennDOT crew prepared for pothole work on Middle Road.
    “Workers are so vulnerable, because they are so close to vehicles. Any kind of erratic driving puts them at risk,” Cotter added.

    Since 1970, 10 workers in District 4-0 have been killed at construction sites as a result of drivers. The district encompasses Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Wayne, Susquehanna and Pike counties.
