Traffic management during major highway reconstruction: abbreviated case studies. Final report, 1981-1986
Traffic-management strategies have been implemented to move people, not vehicles, through and around reconstruction activities. These strategies include: public information and community liaison activities (e.g., task forces, meetings, media campaigns, brochures); work-zone traffic controls (e.g., standard devices and practices, incident detection and management); traffic engineering and operational improvements on alternate routes (e.g., turn lanes, channelization, timing and coordinating traffic control signals, traffic control officers); ridesharing and related incentives (e.g., carpooling, vanpooling, buses, park-and-ride lots, HOV lanes, preferential parking); and contract items (e.g., incentives/disincentives, nighttime and off-peak work hours). The report documents traffic management strategies that have been implemented in 17 U.S. cities.
