Improving Work Zones Every Day, in Every Way

Author/Presenter: Paracha, Jawad; Ostroff, Rachel
Abstract:

In 2015, over 700 people were killed, and 35,000 people injured in more than 96,000 work zone related crashes.  This article discusses a comprehensive set of programs, strategies, and tools the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed under its Work Zone Management Program to mitigate the safety and mobility impacts of work zones.  They include intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, improved data collection, training grants, and resources tailored to the commercial trucking industry and State and local agencies.
