Abstract:

At the end of 1998, the South Finland Production Area of the Finnish National Road Administration (Finnra) decided to create and pilot test a new service system to take care of temporary traffic control during road work. The new Finnra team offers all-inclusive temporary traffic control services to anyone who needs them--inside or outside Finnra. The team applies for working permits, takes care of traffic arrangement, and develops and tests new traffic control equipment under local conditions. The team, a pioneer in work-zone safety, works toward four goals: maximum safety to the road users, maximum safety to workers, minimum delay on site, and optimal economy for the client. The project started at the end of 1998; the pilot "traffic control team" idea was tested in 1999; and the team officially started work at the beginning of 2000.
