• Abstract:
  It is often necessary to establish work zones on roadway for pavement and bridge repair and rehabilitation activities. It is common knowledge that each year the highway construction season starts with establishing work zones on roadways and that work zones cause traffic delays. Work zone is defined in the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual (TRB 1994) as "an area of highway in which maintenance and construction operations are taking place that impinge on the number of lanes available to moving traffic or affect the operational characteristics of traffic flowing through the area." In order to efficiently plan and schedule work zone operations, it is essential to know the traffic capacity values of work zones.
