Develop Work Zone Training Video for Law Enforcement

This project will develop a work zone training video script focused on law enforcement officers who interact with work zones. The support, input, and content development from North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will be essential for successfully completing this effort. NCDOT is currently compiling research on existing training related to this topic, including sources such as ATSSA, Federal Highway Administration, etc. and will share this information with ITRE to use for the development of the training that will improve safety for law enforcement in work zones. Law enforcement officers are commonly in work zones to respond to an incident, conduct targeted enforcement, provide traffic management support through a contract with a construction project, or flagging at a signalized intersection. This training will target the most common and active work zone involvement which is when law enforcement officers are contracted to support a construction project and as a secondary focus, for flagging activities. Essential content will include requirements for work zones and best practices for safe operations in work zones. This research will culminate in two deliverables: (1) a pre/post survey to evaluate the outcomes of the training and (2) a 10 to 15 minute script (for production by NCDOT Communications).
