Roadworkers' Safety Report Phase One

Purpose of the Study

This research is to inform the overall strategy towards roadworkers' safety and identify drivers' perceptions of roadworks and roadworkers, particularly in emergency works. Roadworkers include the AA, RAC, grass cutters, Traffic Officers and those maintaining the roads.

Road users were consulted via six focus groups, three held in Manchester and three near Bristol. Three types of road users were identified for participation: limited / secondary users; intensive business / work related users; and young inexperienced male drivers.
