Why the need for work area traffic control management?
| Since the day when the first roadway was surfaced, there became a need to
maintain that roadway. As transportation technology increased, so did the volume
and speed of the vehicles using the roadway system. It became necessary to stage
maintenance work so that the right-of-way could be shared; part of the roadway
being worked on, part being used for travel. Conflict became apparent and the
need for positive guidance in traffic control during construction and
maintenance work was gradually recognized. As the roadway system, roadway work
and traffic control techniques became more complex and sophisticated so did the
need for management and supervision. With the nations ever increasing trend of
mobility and travel, the federal government recognized and reacted to the need
to standardize and unify the way in which traffic control was implemented in
like work site situations. At best the motorist, bicyclist and the roadway
worker must share the right-of-way. In doing so all users of the roadway must be
adequately protected.
