• Abstract:
  The objectives of the project are to: 1. Develop cost-efficient recommendations for maintaining marking retroreflectivity at or above minimum levels on Louisiana state highways; 2. Improve understanding of pavement striping practices and material performance factors that influence the durability and long-term retroreflectivity of pavement markings; and 3. Evaluate the safety impacts of pavement marking retroreflectivity, with an emphasis on nighttime roadway and lane departure crashes.
