A Guide to Establishing Speed Limits in Highway Work Zones, 1994

Safety in street and highway work zones is an area of emphasis for Mn/DOT (Minnesota Department of Transportation). Therefore, many improvements in work zone safety are being implemented. One of these improvements is the increased use of speed limits and speed limit enforcement to reduce vehicle speeds through street and highway work zones. Proper and uniform application of these speed limits should improve the safety of the highway worker and the travelling public.
