NEW TRAFFIC REGULATION IN RELATION TO THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND SAFETY IN WORKZONES IN THE NETHERLANDS
Concerning road work, three issues are every important: the safety of road users, an undisturbed traffic flow (no delays), the safety of road workers. In the Dutch policy, none of these issues is more important than another, they are considered as equivalent. In 1995, based on an inquiry into traffic safety on motorways during road works, generally speaking there is a particular problem, it is comparable to the normal situation without any road work. However, collisions due to lane closures are a matter of concern. Avoiding traffic congestion from road work is a seriously increasing problem. This report shows many shortcomings, especially in the separation between workers and traffic near the work zone. To tackle the problems, a large work zone action program has been drafted.
