Abstract:

The purpose of this guide is to provide information to State and local agencies on work zone fatalities in the U.S. and the application of Safe System Approach principles to work zone planning, design, operations, and management. This includes describing work zone applications of FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures (PSCs), a collection of countermeasures and strategies effective in reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries on U.S. highways and streets. Each of the PSCs can be implemented in work zones, depending on the individual work zone characteristics and the safety-related needs. The PSCs are generally associated with well-documented crash reductions under non-work zone conditions. The extent of examples of applications in work zones varied. There are opportunities to increase awareness of work zone applications through performing work zone specific safety performance studies, producing case studies, or otherwise documenting benefits and considerations.
