This book was released on 1979 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents a prioritized listing of twenty problem statements relating to traffic safety in construction, maintenance and utility work zones. These problem statements were developed from (1) data collected during 103 site visits, (2) an analysis of 30 construction zones before and during accident case studies, (3) a literature review, and (4) personal experiences of an interdisciplinary, six-person professional staff. Results indicate that approximately two-thirds of the work zone safety problems could be ameliorated if current standards and/or knowledge were properly applied. Results also include data relative to traffic control device use, traffic operation, and accident location in work zones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic control devices in workzones are intended to provide sufficient guidance to motorists to help prevent collisions, especially with construction operations, and based on study of their use in Illinois, they appear to be meeting the objectives. What has been discovered in assessing workzone traffic control and crashes is that collisions occur more frequently than reports show and in ways not necessarily addressed in previous studies. For the most part, traffic control devices (TCD) within the actual construction area require no changes. They are protecting the workers from the motorists. What leads to collisions inside the work area are reduced lane widths and lack of adequate escape, especially on limited access roadways. As a result, the most frequent type of collision is rear-end, often caused by drivers stopping or suddenly slowing because of distractions. Outside the work area, the problem appears more related to poor driving behavior and need for some improved guidance for motorists, especially within the merge areas. When taking into account the under-reporting of crashes, with the exception of increases in certain manners of collision such as rear-end, the crashes appear no more severe than crashes occurring outside such zones. Crashes with pedestrians (which includes workers) also appear no more likely than in locations without workzones. On the other hand, crash reporting appears unlikely to include portions of the workzone away from the actual construction area. Using a set of crash reports in which the workzone was defined clearly to include the approach, taper, and exit, analysis suggests that crashes are almost as likely to occur outside the actual construction area as within. It is these crashes outside which appeared more severe and more amenable to enhanced traffic control, especially enforcement. The report recommends practices which could reduce crashes in the approach and where changes or reductions in lanes occur. In addition to other recommendations, a model for a process to be used in generating and reviewing workzone traffic controls has been developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The occurrence of work zone crashes is expected to increase in Arizona with the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT's) shifted emphasis from constructing new roadways to preserving existing facilities. Identifying factors that contribute to work zone crashes will lead to development of appropriate strategies to improve work zone traffic control design and management. This research effort included analysis of work zone crashes identified in the ADOT Accident Location Identification Surveillance System (ALISS) database to determine accuracy of data and to identify factors associated with work zone crashes. The research also compared information from work zone crash reports to the data in the ALISS database to identify inconsistencies. Recommendations were developed for improving the accuracy of crash investigation reporting and transcribing, and for improving work zone policies and procedures.
