Road Construction Safety Audit for Interstate Reconstruction. Volume 2

摘要

Traffic control alternatives associated with reconstruction projects on a rural211u001einterstate have been investigated in this research. Slab replacement projects, 211u001emilling/resurfacing projects, and traffic controls in the vicinity of interstate 211u001eramps were analyzed. The recommendations obtained from a national focus group 211u001eassisted in the development of the Road Construction Safety Audit (RCSA) process. 211u001eThe purpose of the RCSA process is to evaluate the traffic control plan (TCP), 211u001etraffic control devices and strategies before the interstate work zone is 211u001eestablished on the roadway. This process consists of six steps and a series of 211u001echecklists which are used during the planning stage of a TCP to contrast 211u001einterstate work zone traffic control alternatives while considering issues of the 211u001eroadway and the project. Checklists for slab replacement projects, 211u001emilling/resurfacing projects and traffic control in the vicinity of interstate 211u001eramps were developed as part of this research. The key to the RCSA process and 211u001ethe checklist is to ensure that the major safety considerations of the project 211u001ehave been overlooked, and alternatibe devices and/or strategies have been 211u001econsidered.
