• Abstract:
  In 1999, work zone fatalities in the United States hit an all-time high. In 2000, a new record of 1093 fatalities represented an additional increase of 26%. Statistics such as these have served to highlight the need for transportation agencies to continue working to improve work zone safety. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is continuously investigating new ways of improving safety for maintenance workers and travelers alike. Removable rumble strips show promise of being an improvement over asphalt rumble strips in some circumstances. This report details a comparative study to assess the viability of removable rumble strips as a substitute for asphalt strips. /Abstract from report summary page/
