Work Zone Process Review Toolbox

Periodic evaluation of work zone policies and procedures and work zone impacts aids in the process of addressing and managing the safety and mobility impacts of work zones. Process reviews help assess the effectiveness of a program and/or a set of policies and procedures. They enable the agency and respective FHWA Division Office to confirm that a problem does not exist, and to make recommendations to improve situations where shortcomings might exist.

This Work Zone Process Review Toolbox contains tools to help you conduct an effective Work Zone Process Review. The first section of the Toolbox has information to help you determine the purpose/goals and scope of a review, expected outcomes, team members, and possible data sources. This section also contains sets of potential questions that can be used to assess various work zone program areas while doing a work zone process review. The Resources section provides information on training, and includes examples and tips that share what other peers have done. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section provides answers to some commonly-asked questions about work zone process reviews.

For general background information on process reviews, see "ABCs" of Process Reviews.
