Road construction has been one of the biggest contributors to Fort Worth traffic. "There were no deathless days on Texas roadways" (2020 crash statistics, 2023)
(Jesus Jimenez, 2019)
(2020 crash statistics, 2023)
Over 20,000 crashes have occured in work zones. This is a huge issue for the Fort Worth communtiiy
There is over 200 road projects still in process (Capital projects, n.d.). With the growing amount of road projects the amount of road construction will also increase.
(Capital projects, n.d.)
Road construction is such a big issue because it can take up multiple lanes and cause accidents that can black an entire road. To solve this problem the Fort Worth City Council should move road construction to overnight hours.
Fort Wort is home to over 76,000 students (Fort Worth independent school district - u.s. news education, n.d.). These students are all being negitively effected by traffic.
(Brett VA, n.d.)
Traffic brings both metal and physical risks to students. "Traffic pollution can lead to asthma attacks, increase cancer risk, and heart disease" (Borgida, 2020).
Student health is worth the extra funds!
Many local businesses have been struggling to stay open due to low stock and consumption.
Many cargo trucks get stuck in traffic causing a delay of delivery. This would lead to more customers in the community to drive out of town to gather necessities.
The decrease of customers isn't just from the lack of stock but also comes from customers not having time to stop by. Many potenial customers are already running late because of traffic so they can't stop by cafes or shoe stores.
The extra funds used for night traffic can't compare to the already growing amount of accident costs.
The total cost of motor vehicle crashes was $340 billion (Blilncoe et al., 2023). Choosing to spend funds on overnight road construction won't just save money but also lives.
