Work Zones
Work Zone Traffic Control
Annually, nearly 800 fatalities and 37,000 serious injuries occur in the U.S. as a result of vehicle accidents in work zones. Across the country, travelers are frustrated with the number of work zones and the resulting congestion. Over the duration of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, funding levels for highway construction will increase nearly 40%, while congestion has been projected to increase by 50% in the next 10 years. Further, more rehabilitation is needed as the nation's highway infrastructure ages. Work zone safety and mobility have increasing importance as work zones become more of a daily fixture on our roads.
Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is continuously striving to improve safety and mobility in work zones. With the major emphasis on safety, SHA is determined to reduce work zone related congestion by utilizing ITS technologies, better work zone products with high crashworthiness standards, close cooperation with the construction industry, improved work zone traffic control training, improved planning and design of work zone setups, and research.
