  This publication catalogs several devices that were found to be effective at improving driver and worker safety at short-term work zones. The devices included are: fluorescent yellow-green worker vests and hard hat covers, portable variable message signs, speed display trailers, fluorescent orange roll-up signs, radar activated flagger paddles, radar drones, and retroreflective magnetic strips for work vehicles.
