State highway agencies are encouraged by FHWA to consider use of enhanced control measures that move beyond the basic protections of minimum compliance with regulations. These enhanced measures can help reduce work zone crashes and improve worker and traveler safety. This course introduces a number of measures identified in FHWA Subpart K to address worker safety. These measures fall under five main categories: enhanced flagger station setups, temporary traffic signals, pace or pilot vehicles, intrusion alarms, and worker training.
