The study examined Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) of vehicle speeds and its comparison with posted speed limits in Advance Warning Zone (AWZ), Working Zone (WZ) and Terminal Transition Zone (TTZ) on NH-8 in India. Results indicate that (1) Except slow moving vehicles, all the fast moving vehicles exceeded the posted speed limit of 40 km/h in AWZ and WZ; (2) 85^th percentile speeds of Cars/Jeeps, Two-wheelers, Standard Trucks, Mini Trucks, and Buses are much higher than speed limit in AWZ and WZ; (3) mean speeds of fast moving vehicles are more than speed limit in AWZ and WZ; (4) there is no significant difference in the speed of vehicles in AWZ, WZ and TTZ at 95% confidence interval. This study strongly recommends the use of active traffic calming measures like Rumble Strips on Highway Work Zones.
