Abstract:The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) uses a variety of different pavement marking
systems and has experienced a wide range of pavement marking performance. In an effort to
maximize marking performance and to optimize marking selection, IDOT initiated a research
project to evaluate the performance of all currently approved marking types to develop a pavement
marking selection guide based on performance results.
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the performance of pavement markings on both portland
cement concrete (PCC) and hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements over a period of four years. Field
investigations were conducted to gather data on the durability and visibility of markings and the
compatibility between markings and pavement materials. From the results of the study and a lifecycle cost analysis, Applied Research Associates (ARA) developed a pavement marking selection
guide. Because the successful performance of a marking depends largely on controlling many
variables during the installation of the marking, this guide includes pavement marking installation
inspection methods for use by IDOT inspectors.
