• Abstract:
  Turning into and out of driveways in confined or ; dense urban work zones can present significant ; challenges to drivers, especially during nighttime ; conditions when other visual cues about the ; driveways may be masked in the dark. These ; challenges can lead to erratic behaviors by ; drivers such as stopping in a travel lane or ; making a sharp turn without proper turn signal ; indications, and adversely affect safety and ; mobility in the work zone. This project focused ; on identifying alternative work zone delineation ; strategies at driveways using various types of ; work zone channelization devices, evaluating ; these strategies in both controlled and field ; conditions, and developing guidance for the ; effective use of the high-performing channelizing ; strategies at these driveways.
