Toll Facility Safety Study Report to Congress Improving Safety Issues Associated with Worker Exposure to Vehicles 14 Strategies Number of participants who identified this strategy as the most effective in this group. Encourage workers to use mutual support when crossing lanes (i.e., the collector in the booth directs the motorist to stop for the crossing collector). Paint pedestrian crosswalks at the plaza. Require maintenance workers to use a “buddy” system (i.e., no maintenance work is done alone). Issue shoulder bags to collectors for hands-free crossing, and consider a high-visibility color such as orange. Eliminate all mixed-mode lanes to reduce uncertainty of motorist behavior. Use pavement markings to remind collectors about the dangers of crossing lanes (e.g., stencil “LOOK” on the pavement, paint “WATCH FOR CARS” on the pavement). Use warning stickers to remind collectors about the dangers of crossing lanes (e.g., on the ground outside the booth doors warning of the potential for injuries when crossing lanes, “WEAR YOUR VEST” sticker on the door collectors pass through % Number of participants who identified this strategy as the second most effective in this group. % Number of participants who identified this strategy as the third most effective in this group. % Number of participants who identified this strategy as one of the top three most effective strategies in this group. 2 10% 0 0% 1 5% 3 15% 1 5% 2 10% 0 0% 3 15% 0 0% 1 5% 2 10% 3 15% 1 5% 2 10% 0 0% 3 15% 0 0% 1 5% 1 5% 2 10% 0 0% 2 10% 0 0% 2 10% 1 5% 1 5% 0 0% 2 10% Appendix G – Agency Workshop / Workshop Ratings Page G-2 %

Carefully consider the location of crosswalks (i.e., Upstream of the booth to provide improved sight lines? Downstream of the booth so that vehicles stop prior to crossing? Well downstream of the booth to provide for longer stopping distance?). Require workers to have one hand free while crossing. Encourage workers to give a verbal cue to motorists when crossing (e.g., yell “I’m crossing!”) Issue handheld STOP sign paddles to workers to hold while crossing lanes. Consider 5 pt. breakaway vests which are designed to come off with minor or no injury if the vest becomes hooked on an object. Label ETC and mixed use lanes differently from the cash-only lanes to remind collectors that vehicles may not stop in these lanes (e.g., with purple lights). Use signs to remind collectors about the dangers of crossing lanes (e.g., “BE ALERT HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC”, % Number of participants who identified this strategy as the second most effective in this group. % Number of participants who identified this strategy as the third most effective in this group. % Number of participants who identified this strategy as one of the top three most effective strategies in this group. 0 0% 1 5% 1 5% 2 10% 1 5% 0 0% 1 5% 2 10% 1 5% 0 0% 1 5% 2 10% 0 0% 0 0% 1 5% 1 5% 0 0% 1 5% 0 0% 1 5% 0 0% 0 0% 1 5% 1 5% 1 5% 0 0% 0 0% 1 5% Appendix G – Agency Workshop / Workshop Ratings Page G-3 %
