Book Description
Presents a new theory of speed zoning and the methods and results of tests designed to validate the theory. Basic concept of theory is that a relationship exists between rate of occurrence of accidents and distribution of speeds on a section of rural highway, and effectiveness of speed zoning in reducing accidents is dependent on the speed distribution before and after zoning.

Book Description
This report summarizes and evaluates the important findings from the literature review of the studies on work zone speed control techniques. The following treatments are included in this report: 1) flagging, 2) lane width reduction, 3) law enforcement, 4) changeable message signs (CMS), 5) rumble strips, and 6) flashing beacons. The effects of the speed control treatments on speed and traffic flow are evaluated based on: A) experiences with treatment, B) effects of treatment on speed, C) effectiveness of treatment, and D) comments about treatment. A brief description of the conditions under which the treatments were applied is provided, and the speed reduction effects of each technique are discussed. A reference matrix was prepared to identify publications related to each type of speed reduction treatment used in work zones.
