Federal regulations require that by July 1, 2009, state and local governments train personnel in work zone traffic control relevant to the job decisions that each individual is required to make. This class has been designed to provide individuals with the training needed to properly install work zones for performing daily maintenance or short-term operations. Topics covered will include the basics of work zone traffic control, work zone devices, and how to effectively install and maintain them. At the conclusion of this class, a short, open-book, written exam will be administered to all attendees. A VDOT-issued training card will be mailed to each attendee who achieves a passing grade of 80% or higher.
