• Abstract:
  This report documents a nationwide survey conducted to evaluate various states' work zone traffic safety programs established in response to FHPM 6-4-2-12. The survey was sponsored by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation in an effort to optimize their own work zone traffic safety program. Input from 44 states was reviewed during the survey, including formal written policy statements, procedural recommendations, TCPs and traffic control guidelines, flow charts, checklists, and descriptions of informal policies and normal procedures. Based on this information, innovative policies and practices were identified and are described.
