Temporary Traffic Control Considerations in Urban Work Zones – Grant Course

Addresses work zones in more populated and congested areas, particularly the considerations (“substantive safety”) necessary to address work zones in urban environments. These environments may involve restricted spaces, parking issues, limited sight distance, business access, pedestrian, ADA, and bicyclist considerations. The course addresses instances when standards cannot be met and how to address these situations on urban streets. This course is intended for work zone designers and traffic control supervisors who may work in urban environments.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1) Discuss temporary traffic control standards and guidelines and
2) Discuss issues related to the application (design) of those standards and guidelines in urban areas.
