As road work continues across Michigan, police are on high alert for speeding and distracted drivers causing crashes during backups.
On this week’s Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation about efforts engineers take to balance mobility and safety during active road work.
Lindsey Renner, division administrator for Construction Field Services at the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and a former supervisor of the Work Zone Safety section, explains the challenges.
Among innovative methods in use are rumble strips to alert people as they approach a work zone, speed trailers and law enforcement employing a Ghost Rider program to identify distracted drivers.
Renner also talks about the zipper merge as a means of encouraging drivers to alternate when work requires a lane to be closed.
