This issue contains 20 papers on the subject of maintenance services and surface weather as related to transportation. Specific topics discussed include the following: warning lights in nighttime work zone tapers; travel time reliability in work zones; forced-detour traffic in a rural work zone; impact of monetary penalty on work zone speed; work zone speed-flow relationships; lane closure computer tool based on a geographic information system; regional impact of roadway construction on traffic operations; estimating delay and queue length of work zone bottlenecks; truck-mounted changeable message signs for work zones; evaluation of ASTM standard test method E2177; pavement markings condition assessment with image processing; assessment of sign retroreflectivity compliance; driver visibility needs under wet night conditions; pavement markings service life and maintenance; organic deicers for winter road maintenance; automatic vehicle location and TowPlow for winter maintenance operations; anti-icing strategies; time headway under good and adverse weather conditions; rural two-plus-one-lane highway in a cold region; and the impact of inclement weather on freeway traffic speed.
