Construction Zone Traffic Enforcement
The Alabama Department of Transportation and the Alabama Department of Public Safety
currently participate in a traffic safety program called the Construction Zone Traffic
Control Program.
Under the program, the Alabama Department of Transportation determines the need
for traffic enforcement and speed control in selected major construction work zone
areas. The Department of Public Safety allocates troopers in marked patrol cars
to be stationed at or near the specified construction sites to monitor traffic.
Troopers assigned to the detail focus on aggressive enforcement of speed limit and
other traffic laws in and around the construction work zones. They also are available
to assist motorists and provide other services as necessary.
The construction and maintenance projects designed to improve the interstate and
highway systems in Alabama require ALDOT employees, as well as private contractor
personnel, to work in areas of close proximity to moving vehicles.
