Abstract:

Since August 1998, most of the signposts installed by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) have been Port Orford cedar. Prior to that time, pressure treated wood had been the primary signpost material. ODOT’s Research Group was asked to compare the characteristics of cedar versus pressure treated wood for signposts.

Research staff investigated environmental issues, worker protection, price, disposal considerations, and durability. In addition, the staff conducted a survey of sign crews to determine their opinions on the use of pressure treated wood versus cedar.
