Even when he’s not driving — just standing on Southern California freeways — Caltrans maintenance worker Maurice Coggins has his eyes on the road.
“You never feel safe out here,” Coggins said as traffic whizzed by along Highway 60 near Interstate 15. “It’s like post-traumatic stress disorder.”
He and other Caltrans workers — and probationers assigned to clean up freeways — know that one inattentive driver can put them at risk anytime and anyplace on area roads.
