An important first step in maximizing the effectiveness of law enforcement is to determine how officers currently operate in work zones. While transportation researchers may understand the benefits of different enforcement strategies, does this translate to improved enforcement methods in the field’ A survey was developed and administered to determine the problems encountered by state law enforcement agencies across the country when enforcing work zones. The survey was also an attempt to identify areas of improvement and innovative practices worthy of further development.
