American Traffic Solutions Reminds Drivers Work Zone Awareness Week is April 6-10

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
American Traffic Solutions, Inc., which serves more than 150 communities with
red-light and speed camera programs, reminds drivers that April 6-10 is Work
Zone Awareness Week. Nearly 1,000 people are killed in roadway work zones each
year. Law enforcement has found that speeding in work zones often plays a major
factor in many work zone injuries and fatalities. Strong speed enforcement
methods in work zones, such as photo enforcement, have a direct result in
compliance with following the posted work zone speed limit.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is among the state and
local authorities that partner with ATS to reduce work zone crashes and injuries
through photo enforcement. In the fall of 2008, WSDOT launched a pilot program
using mobile speed enforcement vehicles in work zones.

"We believe adding the work zone speed enforcement cameras to our Give `em a
Brake program will bring speeds down in the work zone and help protect workers
and drivers," said Ted Trepanier, WSDOT Traffic Operations Director. "And that
showed in a five-week deployment last fall. We had zero work zone incidents
through the enforcement area.

"Programs that lower speeds through the work zone are protecting roadway
workers, and they are also protecting the drivers and their passengers,"
Trepanier said.

"Photo enforcement is a proven law enforcement tool that helps reduce
violations, crashes and related injuries by modifying driver behavior," said
James Tuton, President and CEO of American Traffic Solutions. "Work Zone
Awareness Week serves as a reminder to all drivers that following the posted
speed limit in work zones has a direct effect on the safety of construction
workers, drivers and passengers."

This year`s Work Zone Awareness Week theme is "Drive to Survive - Our Future is
Riding on It!" More information on Work Zone Awareness Week is available at the
Federal Highway Administration`s website at:

WSDOT will host its annual Work Zone Memorial Event Thursday, April 23 to honor
fallen roadway workers and remind everyone about the importance of work zone
safety. They are proud to have the National Work Zone Memorial Wall as part of
the 2009 Memorial Event. For more information on WSDOT`s Work Zone Safety
