Work Zone is defined as an area of a highway in which maintenance and construction operations are taking place that impinge on the number of lanes available to traffic or affect the operational characteristics of traffic flowing through the area [Highway Capacity Manual 2000)JThe Components of Traffic Control Areas of work zone as per Indian Road Congress IRC SP 55 which gives the guidelines on road safety in construction zones are shown in Fig I The Individual work zone components as observed in the field are depicted in Fig 2
