• Abstract:
  The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) organized ; 38 States for the FHWA Evaluation of Low-Cost Safety ; Improvements Pooled Fund Study as part of its strategic ; highway safety plan support effort. The purpose of the ; study is to evaluate the safety effectiveness of several ; low-cost safety improvement strategies through scientifically ; rigorous crash-based studies. ; One of the strategies selected for evaluation for this study ; was the application of wet-reflective pavement markings. ; This strategy involves upgrading existing markings from ; standard marking materials to wet-reflective markings, ; which may be applied as a paint, tape, or thermoplastic ; material. These markings are designed to provide an ; improved level of retroreflectivity during wet road surface ; conditions.
