Abstract:

This project evaluated the effectiveness of 3M Ceramic Elements and Potters VISIMAX Plus when blended with conventional Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) Type 2 glass beads in highway pavement markings. These elements are claimed to provide increased retroreflectivity during wet conditions allowing states to recess a 20 mil thick striping in a 60 mil deep grind resulting in an increased durability during plowing seasons. The increased retroreflectivity during wet conditions is also being evaluated to determine their effectiveness as safety treatments. This report includes: experimental design, evaluation procedures, site visit updates, pre and post installation images, and retroreflectivity readings.
