Abstract:Work zones can create hazards for both workers and drivers. Reducing vehicle speeds near work zones and increasing the separation between traffic flows and work zones have been shown to reduce both the number and severity of work zone crashes. However, increasing driver observance of reduced speed limits in work zones requires innovative and effective countermeasures. Florida International University researchers examined how drivers responded to work zones when stationary police vehicles with flashing blue warning lights were placed in work zones.
