• 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.
