• 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.
