Manhattan residents are no strangers to construction zones, and often walk by them, through them or under them without a second glance. That is because construction zones are just another part of life on NYC streets, and residents know that they are supposed to be safe and properly maintained so as to ensure the utmost safety for any passerby. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and some construction workers, such as forklift operators, don’t always have time to react safely and accordingly when NYC residents are near, resulting in accidents and injuries.
