Work zones
PROBLEMAccidents occur in the vicinity of highway construction, highway maintenance and utility work - almost 30 per cent of such work zone accidents involve large trucks. Vehicles travelling through reduced-speed work zones typically don't obey the temporarily lowered speed limits.
Safe and efficient flow of traffic through work zones is a major concern to transportation officials, industry, the public, businesses and commercial motor carriers. |
3i APPLICATION BENEFITS3i Workzone System is a temporary warning device using in-road markers and/or impact recovery posts preceeding and alongside work zones. The system is highly flexible. The system's active delineators do not rely on a vehicle's headlights as they are visible at great distance whatever the curvature of the roadway.
The warning system is placed up to 500m before a work zone and guides traffic around the construction or work area. The combination of markers on posts effectively alerts and guides by providing a visible lane demarcation. After construction has been completed the system is simply rolled up and reinstated at the next location. |
