Abstract
The report presents a prioritized listing of twenty prob-lem statements relating to traffic safety in construction, maintenance and utility work zones. These problem state-ments 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.
