Abstract

This report documents the current and best practices for managing pavement marking systems, identifies future needs, and addresses driver needs and methods of communicating information to drivers, selection criteria (e.g., reflectivity, pavement service life, wet weather performance), materials (e.g., color, durability, cost), specifications, construction practices, and inventory management systems. It also explores several challenges facing agencies, including funding, nighttime visibility in rain and fog, quality control after installation, and the shortage of quality labor, and discusses new technologies, methods of performance measurement, and environmental constraints.
