Work Zone Safety: This chapter has the following objectives: (1) Provide an overview of key aspects of roadway construction conditions that have bearing on what constitutes safety performance;on how those aspects differ from standard traffic operations and design;and on how substantive safety can be used to quantify, identify, and evaluate safety management practices during construction. (2) Show how an agency can incorporate substantive and nominal safety considerations into the construction phase of project development. (3) Describe the steps to evaluate safety in the construction phase of project development.

Abstract:

The ITE informational report, Integration of Safety in the Project Development Process and Beyond: A Context Sensitive Approach, builds upon the above referenced ITE FHWA Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach (RP) and the dialog that was initiated with ITE members in support of advancing the implementation of context sensitive solution (CSS). This report focuses on the consideration of safety in the project development process and its relationship to highway design elements considering project context from a quantitative, substantive, analytical, and technical perspective. This document was produced in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration.
