• Abstract:
  This project provides the Texas Department of Transportation with a mechanism to conduct high-priority, limited-scope evaluations of traffic control devices. Work conducted and concluded during the 2020 fiscal year included: (1) review of retroreflective raised pavement marker practices; (2) review of optical speed bar practices in horizontal curves; (3) review of traffic signal head backplate practices; (4) review of intersection conflict warning system practices; (5) development of guidance for the application of 6-inch pavement markings; (6) assessment of the effectiveness of work zone signing; and (7) assessment of the effectiveness of pedestrian crossing treatments at night.
