Abstract
The current state‐of‐the‐art and current practices followed for pedestrian accommodation in highway work zones, and suggested guidelines to improve pedestrian safety is briefly described. Literature searches revealed only a broad and sporadic reference and guidance for pedestrian accommodation in work zones. Field investigation of work sites revealed either lack of, or inadequate accommodation of, pedestrians in work zones. The guidelines developed for accommodating pedestrians in work zones include: (1) The conditions under which pedestrian accommodation should be provided; (2) minimum pathway width requirements; (3) pathway types; (4) pathway delineation and protection; (5) pathway surface; and (6) motorist and pedestrian informational needs to guide them through and around a work zone in a safe manner.
