Investigation of Effectiveness of Radar Speed Signs and Additional Lighting for Speed Control in Highway Construction and Maintenance Work Zones
Safely controlling and reducing vehicle speeds through work zones decreases the safety risk associated with highway construction and maintenance work. Work zone speed control has been the subject of … [Read more...] about Investigation of Effectiveness of Radar Speed Signs and Additional Lighting for Speed Control in Highway Construction and Maintenance Work Zones
Influence of Truck-Mounted Radar Speed Signs in Controlling Vehicle Speed for Mobile Maintenance Operations: Oregon Case Study
Radar speed signs (RSSs) are a measure for reducing traffic flow speeds through work zones. The influence of truck-mounted RSSs on vehicle speed was evaluated for mobile maintenance operations in two … [Read more...] about Influence of Truck-Mounted Radar Speed Signs in Controlling Vehicle Speed for Mobile Maintenance Operations: Oregon Case Study
Highway Construction Work-Zone Safety: Effectiveness of Traffic-Control Devices
Pavement preservation is a proactive approach to maintaining existing highways. Freeway-preservation projects typically require construction workers to conduct their work in close proximity to ongoing … [Read more...] about Highway Construction Work-Zone Safety: Effectiveness of Traffic-Control Devices
Safe and Effective Speed Reductions for Freeway Work Zones: Phase 2
Freeway preservation projects typically require construction workers to conduct their work in close proximity to ongoing traffic and often reduce traffic flow to a single lane while work is undertaken … [Read more...] about Safe and Effective Speed Reductions for Freeway Work Zones: Phase 2
