New Zealand roadworkers face frequent abuse and danger, with many reporting verbal attacks, physical assaults, and near-misses from reckless drivers.
A survey of 667 New Zealand roadworkers reveals widespread abuse, with nearly two-thirds reporting weekly verbal abuse and one in five experiencing physical assault.
About 5% were struck by vehicles, often at high speeds, due to distracted or speeding drivers ignoring traffic controls.
Nearly half reported near-misses, and one in three said the stress affects their mental health.
