• Abstract:
  Pavement marking removal due to changed traffic configurations is a continual construction and maintenance problem. Often the removal alters the texture and/or color of the pavement surface. The removed markings become visible under different lighting and weather conditions, which can confuse motorists, especially in cases where the removed stripe becomes more visible to drivers than the new marking.
  
  Environmental effects of stripe removal and collection of materials must be considered. And while standard specifications describe how to remove markings, they do not provide a way to measure the effectiveness of the removal.
  
  This research note provides information about striping removal methods and discusses the results of ODOT field trials conducted in 2001.
