The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) website has several pages with links on temporary traffic control in work zones. Some of the Intelligent Transportation Systems also have websites with pages of information about work zones. The link to the Work Zone Mobility and Safety Fact Sheets is a set of brochures issued between 2000 and 2003. This series of ten brochures shows activities for improving mobility and safety through construction and maintenance work zones. These brochures highlight innovative technologies and best practices. They also introduce new methods, products, and tools of the Intelligent Transportation System.

Additional work zone resources will be added as they are recommended by sources in Alabama and around the country. Websites of other information resources will also be linked as they become available.
