AN EDUCATION ON TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Through a cooperative agreement with the Federal Highway Administration, the American Concrete Pavement Association is developing an education program on how to consider road-user impact during the rehabilitation of portland cement concrete pavements. The program will provide traffic management options for resurfacing, restoration, and reconstruction. The plan involves a traffic management handbook, a series of workshops, and a national open house, all scheduled to begin in 1999. The course is oriented toward Department of Transportation officials for both central and district/regional offices, as well as project designers, traffic control plan specialists, contractors, public safety officers, and public affairs practitioners. Traffic management involves the balancing of three competing interests: the traffic and how it is handled through the work zone, the work itself and how it is done, and the public and local businesses and how they are involved in the project.
