Low-Cost Work Zone Management Strategies
Low-cost work zone strategies are traffic control devices and other countermeasures designed to improve work zone safety that generally cost $50,000 or less per implementation. These strategies typically consist of minor or smaller-scale improvements that can be incorporated into temporary traffic control plans or retrofit into an existing work zone. This training provides guidance towards selection of appropriate low-cost work zone strategies based on the work zone context.
