Is everyone wearing orange-colored shirts in a work zone an NDOT worker?
No. They may be city or county or private construction or maintenance workers. NDOT does most of its own maintenance work, but for new projects or major reconstruction, private contractors are hired. To identify NDOT workers, look for white or yellow-orange trucks with the NDOT logo on the side. Wearing orange or bright yellow-green-reflecting attire on roadway projects is required by federal and state workplace safety standards.
