Abstract:
The number of fatal motorcycle crashes has

increased from 2006 to 2010, while the number of

fatal motor vehicle crashes has decreased during the

same period. The riding season in Ohio coincides

with the majority of repair work on roadways.

Roadway work zones alter the roadway surface,

resulting in reduced traction between the wheel and

the road, and alter vehicles’ paths of travel, which

can take riders’ focus away from important hazards.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate work

zone related motorcycle crashes and provide the

Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the

riding community with the most current knowledge

on the contributing factors associated with work

zone related motorcycle crashes.
