The National Conference on Work Zone Safety was designed to explore ways in which the highway construction industry and Federal, State and local governments can reduce accidents and fatalities in work zones. Attending the Conference were more than 200 people representing diverse safety areas, including educators, engineers, corporate and government officials. The two-and-a-half-day agenda was designed to offer a broad perspective from several disciplines as to the contributing factors causing accidents in work zones and possible remedies. During the Conference, participants separated into workshop groups that addressed the following topics: philosophy of traffic control; work zone safety implementation; contractors construction management; interaction with public highway users; and advanced technologies.
