The objective of this research project was to develop a better understanding of work zone conditions that are associated with fatal crashes in work zones. This was done through the development of detailed data collection techniques in work zones following a fatal crash. One product was required for this project: a list of typical hazards and risks found in work zones and recommended improvements to mitigate fatal work zone accidents. Currently, none of the findings developed in this project have been implemented; however, the Traffic Operations Division has referenced Research Report 0-4028-1, An Analysis of Fatal Work Zone Crashes in Texas, in TxDOT's annual Traffic Control Review Team report to the Federal Highway Administration. Some of the findings from this project may be incorporated into a work zone handbook or other standard manuals for distribution to TxDOT districts.
