Abstract

Evidence is increasing that existing traffic control prac-tices do not always provide an adequate level of safety in construction zones. Synthesis of a number of accident studies reveals that the total accident experience in construction zones increases from 2 to 119 % during the period of construction. The literature synthesis also indicates that the increases in accident experience are highly related to construction activity.
