Abstract:

The United States experiences over 700 fatalities and over 37,000 injuries each year in temporary

construction and maintenance work zones. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has implemented

Temporary Traffic Control Devices 23 CFR 630 Subpart K, which specifies a state highway agency must

amend their state safety and mobility plan by 2008 to include a description for positive protection in work

zones and implementation guidelines for federal funded highway projects. This research study first

investigated temporal trends in national and Kansas work zone related crash trends, specifically crashes

involving striking a construction vehicle or fixed object. Additionally, current work zone TL-3 and TL-2

approved positive protection devices were summarized including longitudinal barriers, mobile barriers,

vehicle arresting systems and end protection systems. Next, a nation-wide survey of state highway agencies

was conducted to summarize current guidance relating to positive protection or changes in guidance to

comply with Temporary Traffic Control Devices 23 CFR 630 Subpart K. Finally, the research study

provided preliminary work zone positive protection guidance for the Kansas Department of Transportation

based on the findings of the survey and currently available products.
