Addressing Encroachment-Related Safety Issues in Work Zones: A Guide

This report provides evidence-based guidelines to help address safety concerns associated with vehicle encroachment in work zones. Encroachment occurs when a vehicle inadvertently traverses across the boundaries of a work zone, creating safety concerns for highway workers and motorists. The research was further informed by feedback collected during a peer exchange workshop facilitated by the research team. This report will be of interest to state departments of transportation and other stakeholders concerned with reducing the incidence of vehicle encroachment in work zones.
