• Abstract:
  Maintaining the large number of signs on the state's roads demands a substantial effort, especially now that many of the signs erected during construction of the interstate and urban arterial systems are deteriorating to the point of requiring replacement. It is imperative that an expeditious sign refurbishing program be established to ensure the efficiency of procedures in view of the Department's efforts to economize while continuing to maintain the highest level of safety for both the motorist and Department employees. This report discusses the procedures used by the Department with special attention to cost, manpower, time, and quality of the product. In addition, it presents the results of a questionnaire survey made to obtain information on procedures used in other states. Recommendations concerning the most cost-effective and expeditious method of refurbishing signs in Virginia are presented.
