Abstract:

This guide identifies and describes specific challenges and characteristics for short-term stationary, short-duration, and mobile work zones. Typically these work zones require special consideration in terms of temporary traffic control strategies. This guide outlines possible mitigation strategies and countermeasures that will assist in maintaining both safety and mobility through these types of work zones. Example plans are also provided within this document that highlight frequently encountered work zone scenarios.
