Clearing Crashes on Arterials

Public works agencies, department of transportation maintenance crews, and safety service patrols all play an important role in traffic incident management (TIM), though it is not always understood what roles they play. The responsibility for an incident is determined by jurisdiction, and state and local maintenance crews do not work the same incidents unless the jurisdictional boundaries overlap. It is necessary to provide workers with training in TIM in order to prepare them to respond to incidents safely and efficiently.
