| Abstract | The FHWA is preparing to develop proposed language for the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) regarding pavement marking retroreflectivity. The purpose of this report is to summarize the recommendations from the two pavement marking retroreflectivity workshops that the FHWA held in the summer of 2007 regarding the upcoming proposed rulemaking on pavement marking retroreflectivity. This rulemaking effort is a result of the 1993 U.S. DOT Appropriations Act requiring the Secretary of Transportation to “…include a standard for minimum level of retroreflectivity that must be maintained for traffic signs and pavement markings for all roads open to public travel.” In response to this legislative mandate and after many years of research and proposed rulemaking, the FHWA has developed and adopted a set of minimum retroreflectivity levels for traffic signs, which became effective in January 2008. |
