abstract="Ohio state highway patrolmen and drivers completed two separate questionnaires designed to assess problems related to driver behavior in road construction and maintenance (C&M) zones. The highway patrolmen saw driver inattention, excessive speed, and improper driver behaviors as major causes of accidents in C&M zones and stated that most problems occur in the taper area of lane closures. Patrolmen considered rear-end collisions to be the most typical accident in these zones. The driver questionnaire revealed that when making decisions about speed and lane changes in C&M zones, most drivers rely on their own judgment and cues from other vehicles rather than on signing. Implications of the findings for the design and placement of traffic control devices in C&M zones are discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
