Abstract:

Traffic control devices are a primary means of communicating highway information to road users. The design, application, and maintenance of traffic control devices are under constant transformation as new technologies, methodologies, and policies are introduced. 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 2021 fiscal year included: • Evaluation of wet-weather pavement markings. • Assessment of motorist interpretations of centerline buffers on two-lane, two-way roads. • Review of speed feedback signs in high-speed management approaches. • Review of direction indicator barricades used in work zones.
