RESPECT THE CONE “Nevada work zones have seen the loss of 17 lives in just five years due to 7,000 traffic accidents. With rates on the rise in recent years, we all need to do our part to act safely toward our neighbors, friends, and family members who work in construction zones. Today, Sheriff Balaam attended a press conference led by Governor Joe Lombardo and various public officials to promote the Associated General Contractors of Nevada’s Respect the Cone Campaign. Respect the Cone is a call to attention for all Nevadans to slow down and pay attention when driving through construction zones. #respectthecone #safety #WCSO” 📸 Washoe County Sheriff #reno #sparks #washoecounty
