Overview & Purpose

This practical, searchable encyclopedia of Work Zone Safety (WZS) controls and technologies helps practitioners move beyond default devices. It provides a structured overview of options—including benefits, limitations, risks, and failure modes—to support informed, risk-based selection tailored to a worksite’s context.

  • Click a control to view its full profile on the right.
  • Each section has an info (i) icon—hover or click for definitions.
  • Use “Return to Instructions” to clear your selection and come back here.
