Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information from driver studies performed during the first year of the project identified several features and conditions that created confusion and anxiety in traversing the work zone. Many of these conditions represented deficiencies in the work zone traffic control from the standpoint of positive guidance principles. This report describes the efforts to tailor the application of positive guidance procedures to work zone traffic control installations reviews. Four key steps, hazard visibility assessment, expectancy violation determination, information load analysis, and information needs specification, are described in the context of traffic control at potentially complex work zones. A methodology is presented for applying these steps in a field review process to be performed as part of the work zone traffic control installation process.

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: One of the ways a state department of transportation or other transportation agency can address work zone safety and other impacts is to develop and implement a Transportation Management Plan (TMP). The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 945: Strategies for Work Zone Transportation Management Plans provides a practitioner-ready guidebook on how to select and implement strategies that improve safety and traffic operations in roadway construction work zones. Supplemental materials to the report include NCHRP Web-Only Document 276: Evaluating Strategies for Work ZoneTransportation Management Plans; fact sheets on ramp meter, reversible lane, and truck restrictions; and guidebook appendices.
