PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS IN ESTABLISHING FREEWAY INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
The construction incident management program undertaken in Seattle when I-5 was resurfaced in 1984 is offered as an example of what can be accomplished in traffic control for major planned incidents through cooperation among various agencies and jurisdictions. Because of these coordination efforts it was possible to maximize capacity of available alternate routes, maximize potential modal shifts to high occupancy vehicles, and provide a high level of information to motorists.
