Basic Work Zone
Traffic Control

October 23, 2008

Holiday Inn Roanoke-Tanglewood
4468 Starkey Rd SW
Salem, VA 24018

As traffic volumes increase and the need to repair and improve roadways becomes greater, so does the need to plan, install, and review work zone traffic control to effectively and safely perform the work. Federal requirements now instruct state and local governments to train personnel in work zone traffic control relevant to the job decisions that each individual is required to make. This workshop provides training needed to properly install work zones to perform daily maintenance or short-term operations. Emphasis is placed on the basics of work zone traffic control, focusing on work zone devices and how to effectively install and maintain them. At the conclusion of this workshop, a short open-book written exam will be administered to all attendees. A VDOT-issued training card will be given to each attendee who achieves a passing grade of 80% or higher.

Instructors for this workshop include:

David B. Rush, Work Zone Safety Program Manager for VDOT. A 29-year employee, Dave oversees VDOT’s work zone safety program and is the chairman of the department’s Work Zone Safety Training Committee.

Paul E. Kelley, Engineer I, Assistant State Work Zone Safety Coordinator. A 15-year employee with VDOT, Paul is responsible for work zone activities in the eastern and central regions of the state.

Ginger F. Quinn, Engineer I, Assistant State Work Zone Safety Coordinator. A 20-year employee with VDOT, Ginger is responsible for work zone activities in the northwest and southwest regions of the state.
