• Abstract:
  The aging of our highway infrastructure has been accompanied by the realization that various preservation and enhancement activities will be increasingly commonplace well into the future. Because these activities must be carried out despite the presence of vehicular traffic, efforts are necessary to minimize the effect on traffic and roadway safety. Lacking such efforts, normal traffic flow may be unnecessarily disrupted, resulting in long delays which in turn may contribute to increased traffic accidents and worker safety risk. Proper planning of work zone traffic control, along with strategies which improve construction efficiency and minimize congestion, are essential elements of the traffic control plans and project specifications / requirements. There is a need for training on the development of traffic control strategies to ensure adequate consideration of state-of-the-art practices and procedures in maximizing safety while minimizing traffic disruption in work zones. The course "Strategies for Work Zone Traffic Control" is a two-day course aimed at providing such training.
