ROSA P serves as an archival repository of USDOT-published products including scientific findings, journal articles, guidelines, recommendations, or other information authored or co-authored by USDOT or funded partners.
As a repository, ROSA P retains documents in their original published format to ensure public access to scientific information.
The purpose of this manual is to establish a guide for uniformity of traffic line and pavement markings throughout the state highway system. The manual is intended to be used by highway maintenance traffic line crews to assist them in their daily work. It may also be used by other ODOT employees who are involved in the layout or design of traffic lines and pavement markings. The construction plans should be consulted for complex layout or design of traffic lines and pavement markings in construction projects.
To a large extent, the traveling public relies heavily on painted traffic markings for guidance, car positioning, and information. Unless all markings are uniform, motorists may be confused and uncertain of the purpose of the marking. If markings not con-forming to this manual are necessary, they should be reviewed and approved by the region traffic operations supervisor or state traffic engineer.
The text and standards for this manual have been adapted from the ?Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices? (MUTCD), the Oregon Supplements, policies and
guidelines. More detailed information may be obtained from these publications.
