Work Zone Safety
The Work Zone Safety Committee oversees work zone traffic safety issues that affect the traveling public and road workers within temporary traffic control zones. Areas of oversight include design policies, standard road plans, specifications, training, research, and new product evaluation as they relate to temporary traffic control zones. Committee members also conduct field reviews during the construction season to observe traffic control installations and recommend changes for future work zones.
The Office of Traffic and Safety coordinates the Iowa DOT's participation in the Smart Work Zone Deployment Initiative (SWZDI). SWZDI is a pooled-fund study established to develop better work zone traffic control strategies to improve safety and efficiency for highway workers and motorists. Other states participating in the pooled-fund study are Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.
