This “Guidelines on Rolling Roadblocks for Work Zone Applications” 8.5 x 11″ booklet assists in the setup and design of rolling roadblocks. A rolling roadblock is a method of temporary traffic control that is used to slow or stop traffic as a means of temporarily removing traffic from a roadway. The rolling roadblock closes all lanes of traffic by using pacing vehicles to create a gap so that construction activities can be performed. Rolling roadblocks are used for short term work where long term road closures using temporary traffic control (TTC) devices are not needed.

This product was developed under the Work Zone Safety Grant, awarded to ATSSA by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
