23 CFR 630, Subpart J Work Zone
Safety and Mobility requires State and local transportation
agencies that receive Federal-aid highway funding to use available
work zone information and data to assess and manage the work zone
impacts of highway projects. While this Rule does not require the
reporting or submission of work zone data,it does: Require agencies
to use work zone data at both the project and process levels to
manage and improve work zone safety and mobility; At the project
level, require agencies to use field observations, available work
zone crash data, and operational information to manage the work
zone impacts of individual projects; At the process level, require
agencies to analyze work zone crash and operational data from
multiple projects to improve agency processes and procedures, and
continually pursue the improvement of overall work zone safety and
mobility; and Recommend that agencies maintain elements of the data
and information resources that are necessary to support the use of
work zone data for the activities above. Most of the data needed to
conduct work zone performance monitoring during project
implementation as well as post-implementation assessments should be
readily available from pre-existing sources. However, data
collection or data storage and retrieval systems may need to be
altered to take full advantage of available information
resources.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
