Construction Site Guidelines

An excellent list of guidelines -- many of which are not appropriately considered in and around New Haven's construction sites, even those surrounded by bustling pedestrian crowds and bordering streets where automobiles frequently travel 15-20 miles per hour in excess of posted speed limits.

Additional measures, such as speed bumps that inflate when speed limits are exceeded, are available, and not listed here. When it comes to planning for construction sites, how much is it worth to prevent the risk of a pedestrian fatality?
