Highway work zones account for about 10 percent of congestion but are an absolute necessity in ensuring that our transportation infrastructure can meet the mobility demands of growing populations. Unlike other causes of congestion, such as crashes, weather events, and rush-hour traffic, work zones are a result of planned actions by stakeholders. Fu
