About the research

Applying better management practices requires knowledge of the traffic flow properties and driver behavior in and around work zones, and knowledge of possible management strategies. The project reported here and in a companion report documents research that seeks to better understand traffic flow behavior at rural Interstate highway work zones and to estimate the traffic carrying capacity of work zone lane closures.
