Why Are Regulations Important?

In the United States, the total linear mileage of public roadways is estimated to be 4.1 million miles. This includes interstate highways, urban highways, and local roads. Federal transportation grants pay for much of the construction work that is completed on these roadways. As a requirement for receiving this funding, contractors must comply with federal rules for protecting the health and safety of roadway construction zone workers and of road users.

Federal regulations regarding traffic control during roadway construction are important. These laws are used by a variety of people, professions, and organizations, including transportation planners and traffic engineers, public works employees, law enforcement personnel, and the insurance and legal communities.
