• Description:
  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.
