| Abstract | This Work Zone Best Practices Guidebook provides an easily accessible compilation of work zone operations practices used and recommended by various States and localities around the country. The Guidebook is a reference document that can be updated with new approaches, technologies, and practices for effectively managing work zones and reducing the impacts of work zones on mobility and safety as they are identified. The best practices are descriptive, not prescriptive. They describe approaches that have been successfully used by transportation agencies, along with contact information to find out more from the agency using the practice. Each organization must determine which of these practices are best suited for its particular situation, considering all the site-specific factors that affect work zone operations. The best practices are grouped into 11 major categories to help practitioners easily find practices that deal with a particular topic. Practices can also be found via six cross-references that enable users to find best practices in several different ways, and a subject index that offers 49 topics and subtopics for more specific searches. The Guidebook is available in two formats: a print version, which can be ordered by mail or downloaded as a PDF and printed, and a web-based, searchable version. |
