A high percentage of highway maintenance activities and some construction activities are performed in a travel lane, median, or shoulder while the public travels by at relatively high speeds in very close proximity to the workers. Work zone traffic control efforts include safety measures for the workers, but current capabilities for short duration work zones can be improved in order to increase the protection of the workers. A recent advancement in work zone safety is a mobile barrier system that consists of a motorized tractor/trailer combination, and can provide complete isolation of the work area for a distance of up to 100 feet. The research presented in this report involved evaluating a mobile barrier in a variety of work zone environments, leading to a determination of its benefits and limitations to guide ODOT in future work zone safety strategies/investments.

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.
