  In this research, primary consideration has been given to the approached treatment of channelization, Particular emphasis has been placed on methods of marking or delineating channelization so that it is visible to the driver under conditions of night driving in adverse weather 0 Studies were conducted to evaluate the relative visibility of signs used to direct traffic around the approach-ends of channelizing islands. Other studies were conducted to evaluate the relative visibility and serviceability of marking materials and devices for delineating islands. These studies included actual field observations as well as controlled tests.
