Abstract:The proposed FHWA amendments to the MUTCD will change the way local agencies manage their pavement markings and places a
focus on pavement marking quality and management methods. This research effort demonstrates how a pavement marking maintenance
method could be developed and used at the local agency level. The report addresses the common problems faced by agencies in
achieving good pavement marking quality and provides recommendations specific towards these problems in terms of assessing
pavement marking needs, selecting pavement marking materials, contracting out pavement marking services, measuring and monitoring
performance, and in developing management tools to visualize pavement marking needs in a GIS format. The research includes five
case studies, three counties and two cities, where retroreflectivity was measured over a spring and fall season and then mapped to
evaluate pavement marking performance and needs. The research also includes over 35 field demonstrations (installation and
monitoring) of both longitudinal and transverse durable markings in a variety of local agency settings all within an intense snow plow
state.
