• Abstract:
  Evaluating the numerous types of traffic control devices (TCDs) newly available and installed across Texas roadways is a key for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to maintain roadway safety and proper performance of TCDs. Evaluations are also needed in order to cost-effectively implement new devices and technologies for continual improvement of the system. This project team conducted high-priority, short-term evaluations of TCDs. The TCD issues evaluated represented new devices or technologies, new applications of an existing device or technology, TCD material performance, changes in practices regarding a TCD, or other TCD-related needs.
