• Abstract:
  The need of maintaining safety of motorists and workers during periods of construction activities on interstates has prompted the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to initiate a study aiming to improve the safety in work zones on rural interstates. The two main objectives of the project consisted in 1) determining if active warning devices or improved signing have an impact in work zone safety and 2) to determining if it is appropriate to consider temporary roads and bridges during construction activity on inter states in an effort to maintain two lanes open at all times.
