Improving Night Work Zone Traffic Control

Book Description
The objective of this study was to examine traffic control for night work zones from the perspective of both agencies and motorists. This was accomplished by investigating practices of state departments of transportation, identifying the problems associated with traffic control for night work zones, and identifying potential strategies to resolve them. Reduced visibility, driver impairment or inattention, inadequate lighting, and difficulty in maintaining traffic control devices are common problems identified with night work zones based on surveys of state departments of transportation and residencies within the Virginia Department of Transportation. Having police present, making workers more visible, using drums in the taper, maintaining traffic control devices, and providing adequate lighting were common solutions. Based on the review of work zones, traffic control for night work zones is generally adequate. Common problem areas were properly establishing work zones based in accordance with the Virginia Work Area Protection Manual, maintaining the traffic control devices, and properly aiming and aligning lighting to avoid glare. Although there is a perception that night work zones are less safe than daytime work zones, evidence to substantiate this perception, such as higher accident rates, was not available because of a lack of accurate traffic exposure data. Based on a limited amount of data, there was no evidence of the perceived higher speeds at night.

Book Description
This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, sets out requirements for travel time reliability within a performance-based planning process. The research includes an effort to determine the economic value of improvements in travel time reliability by applying options theory from the financial sector. The report includes two succinct tables that describe requirements for person and freight trips for reliable transport, as well as a forecast of the year 2030 under alternative assumptions that may influence travel time reliability.

Guidelines on Improving Work Zone Safety Through Public Information and Traveler Information
Author: Roadway Safety ConsortiumPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Road work zones
Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
The document describes the role of traveler information strategies in improving work zone safety. Effective traveler information systems can increase driver awareness, reduce public frustration with work zone delays, and reduce crashes caused by traffic congestion and queuing by encouraging motorists to utilize alternative travel routes and modes. The document addresses real-time information strategies (including portable changeable message signing, highway advisory radio, telephone hotlines, websites, and mobile device applications and data), and public awareness strategies.
