Many drivers have experienced the frustration of driving in a work zone. I have heard about how the speed limits are too low, that road workers never work, and how road authorities should stop bothering drivers and delaying their journeys. I realised that new and better roads are something every driver wants, but few are willing to "pay the price" for it. When I started to wonder more about work zone issues, I became curious about addressing the complaints regarding low posted speed limits and what road authorities should do to increase their credibility. I tried to find studies on work zone safety from a drivers' perspective, and I was surprised when I discovered how little attention this issue had received in the scientific literature. Many studies only answered what drivers do at work zones, without answering why.
