• Abstract:
  National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) spotlights safety and mobility challenges in and around work zones nationwide. Work zones, and the people working in them, are an important part of maintaining and upgrading the transportation system. Work zone safety is a component of national efforts led by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), such as 23 Code of Federal Regulations Part 630 Subparts J and K. These regulations include several work zone safety measures. For example, Subpart J requires agencies to identify safety performance measures and monitor safety performance in work zones, and Subpart K requires agencies to use positive protection devices, at a minimum, in work zones "with high anticipated operating speeds that provide workers with no means of escape from motorized traffic intruding into the workspace, unless an engineering study determines otherwise." The number of work zone fatalities decreased in 2022, for the first time since 2018.
