| Abstract | The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) organized 38 States for the FHWA Evaluation of Low-Cost Safety Improvements Pooled Fund Study as part of its strategic highway safety plan support effort. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety effectiveness of several low-cost safety improvement strategies through scientifically rigorous crash-based studies. One of the strategies selected for evaluation for this study was the application of wet-reflective pavement markings. This strategy involves upgrading existing markings from standard marking materials to wet-reflective markings, which may be applied as a paint, tape, or thermoplastic material. These markings are designed to provide an improved level of retroreflectivity during wet road surface conditions. |
