TRB Webinar: New Minimum Pavement Marking Retroreflectivity Rule

Pavement markings are a ubiquitous safety measure, but a wide variety of practices results in significant differences in marking quality from location to location. A new Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) pavement marking retroreflectivity rule seeks to raise the bar for safety. TRB hosted this webinar to discuss the details of the rule and methods for compliance. Presenters shared practical aspects of compliance, including measuring retroreflectivity and using materials testing and selection to ensure compliance, and increasing cost effectiveness of marking operations.
