Abstract:

When construction zones encroach on sidewalks or crosswalks, pedestrians may suddenly find they have to make detours that are unsafe, difficult to navigate, or both (see figure 21-1). They may be forced to choose between picking their way through the construction site or walking in a busy street. Projects that re built in phases and construction zones that change weekly or even daily only add to the problem. Bicyclists also experience difficulties when traveling through construction zones, particularly when roadway space is constrained and pavement conditions are rough. In some instances, sudden pavement changes in construction zones can represent a severe hazard to bicyclists. In all such cases, it is important to ensure that bicycle and pedestrian detour routes are accessible and signed for all users. This lesson describes typical problems and solutions that improve conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians in work zones.
