Over the past two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all highway fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The safety and well-being of all roadway users is a key priority for ARTBA. The association supports proven strategies to improve the safety and health of workers and roadway users as they navigate roadway construction work zones.

ARTBA advocates the adoption of automated speed enforcement programs for work zones and calls upon the transportation construction industry to seek authorization and begin implementation of this proven safety strategy.

On Jan. 12, the association’s Executive Committee passed a policy statement and guidance on this important issue. Read the 6-page white paper.
