The objective of this study was to identify means by which improved traffic control can improve traffic safety at work zones. The accident data base was derived from the coded information stored in the computerized data bank of the Ohio Department of Highway Safety. Coding errors and unreported accidents were recognized as limitations of the data base. Statistical analysis of statewide aggregate data failed to identify cause and effect relationships between accident characteristics and traffic control. The study was expanded to include the review of individual accident reports at nine construction sites. This approach proved very effective. The accident reports which always included a sketch and a description of the event often indicated that specific traffic control procedures and standards needed to be improved. It has become clear to the researchers that certain types of accidents at a given work zone can suggest specific problems with traffic control plans and/or with the implementation of the plans. Monitoring work zone accidents as they happen is of course the best way to recognize and eliminate problems.

Several documents that will assist the engineer in planning and maintaining safe construction zone visibility are discussed and an attempt is made to relate positive experiences to the user. The resolution of construction zone problems may affect several administrative authorities, various modes of transport and several utility services. In order to maintain desired levels of service, it is important that uniform methods be available for guiding traffic through construction zones. Special attention should be devoted to the contributions of good visibility toward desired levels of service. Construction zone accident considerations are examined and a study by (ALTRANS) and studies in Illinois and Virginia are noted. The Federal Highway Administration's recommendations are also noted. Elements to be observed in achieving safe construction zones are listed.

Work zones tend to cause hazardous conditions for drivers and construction workers since they generate conflicts between construction activities and traffic. A clear understanding of the characteristics of work zone crashes will enhance the selection of the appropriate measures that can minimize the negative impacts of work zones. This study investigated the characteristics of work zone crashes that occurred in Virginia between 1996 and 1999. The information on each crash was obtained from the police crash record. The location of each crash was categorized as being in one of the five areas of a typical work zone: advance warning area, transition area, longitudinal buffer area, activity area, and termination area. An analysis of the percentage distributions was then carried out with respect to area in work zone, severity, type of collision, and type of highway. The proportionality test was used to determine significant differences at the 5 percent significance level. Selected crash characteristics, such as the proportions of single- and multi-vehicle crashes, were compared for work zone and non-work zone crashes. The results indicated that the activity area was the predominant location for work zone crashes regardless of highway type and that rear-end crashes were the predominant type of crash. The results also indicated that the proportion of sideswipe same direction crashes in the transition area was significantly higher than in the advance warning area and that work zone crashes involved a higher proportion of multi-vehicle crashes and fatal crashes than did non-work zone crashes.

The study involves the development of an accident data reporting process for use in construction, maintenance, or utility work areas. The process is based on the results of a 9 state survey which collected information on practices and procedures which were in use in those states.

The report presents a prioritized listing of twenty problem statements relating to traffic safety in construction, maintenance and utility work zones. These problem statements were developed from (1) data collected during 103 site visits, (2) an analysis of 30 construction zones before and during accident case studies, (3) a literature review, and (4) personal experiences of an interdisciplinary, six-person professional staff. Results indicate that approximately two-thirds of the work zone safety problems could be ameliorated if current standards and/or knowledge were properly applied. Results also include data relative to traffic control device use, traffic operation, and accident location in work zones.
