• Abstract:
  Pavement markings need to be restriped from time to time to maintain retroreflectivity. ; Knowing which material provides the most economically efficient solution is important. ; Currently, no agreed upon method by which to evaluate the use of alternative pavement ; marking materials exists. This study developed a methodology that measures the benefit of ; pavement marking materials based on the public perceived benefit of retroreflectivity. Using ; the measured benefit along with the cost of installation and impact on road users during the ; installation process, a benefit/cost analysis was applied to evaluate different marking ; materials used on Louisiana interstate freeways, including thermoplastics (both 40 mil and 90 ; mil), tape, and inverted profile pavement markings.
