Abstract:Architectural Pavement Treatments are special treatments applied to pavements to enhance the aesthetic
character of the pavement and the surrounding environs in which they are applied. They achieve this objective
by imparting special colors and/or patterns to the roadway, typically applied at crosswalk locations, traffic
circles to highlight and delineate the selected areas. This report presents the findings and conclusions of an
evaluation of the design and construction procedures and the performance of Architectural Pavement treatments
on New York State roadways. Three categories of treatments were considered in the evaluation. They include
Textured Thermoplastic Inlays, Textured Hot Applied Polymer Surface and Epoxy/Polymer Binder. The
evaluation was undertaken through surveys of vendors/suppliers of the treatments, surveys of State and local
government agencies that previously used these treatments, surveys of selected New York State sites, where the
treatments have been employed and a review of existing specifications. Based on the results of the investigation
a Best Practice Guideline was prepared and is included as an Appendix to this report.
