Download or read book Impact Assessment of Revised Retroreflectivity Requirements for Highway Signs in Montana written by John Michael Mounce and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this report is to give a preliminary assessment of the impact that revised retroreflectivity requirements will have on the State of Montana. Conclusions and recommendations are made future management and handling of sign inventory data in Montana. This objective is addressed through the following tasks: Task A: Review, assimilation and analyses of current literature available on a nationwide basis; Task B: Discussion of results from a multi state phone solicitation regarding state sign management practices and policies; Task C: An assessment of sign reflectivity inspection equipment and sampling methodology; and Task D: Evaluation of Montana sign inventory on the basis of current practices and condition of a limited sampling of signs. Recommendations of this report include upgrading of, or improvements to Montana Department of Transportation sign management system and multi-district statewide retroreflective sampling to better determine the impacts revised standards may have.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic signing is a critical component of the roadway, as it is the communication medium by which motorists receive information relative to warnings, regulations, and guidance. Nighttime legibility is very important to the effectiveness of roadway signs. Although external sign illumination is effective, the use of retroreflective sheeting is the most common and cost effective means of making signs visible to the driver at night. This report focuses on the collection and analysis of a sample of traffic signs, delineated according to Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) District and sign type, on the State highway system. These samples were collected on the Montana highway system, focusing on non Interstate, non urban areas. These data allow cost estimates to be made for suggested sign replacements by sign category, as well as indicate appropriate and feasible replacement strategies and priorities within each MDT District and the State as a whole. Recommendations are made relative to sign management systems to easily and effectively target and document signs for future maintenance. This report details work activities associated with each of the study tasks, and concludes with findings and recommendations for Montana's course of action regarding the inventory of highway signs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to traffic engineers, planners, and others interested in making sure that motorists' needs for directional information on freeways are being met. Information is provided on policies and procedures used by states in evaluating freeway guide signs and replacing those that are outdated or deteriorated. Many signs on freeways and other controlled-access highways have exceeded their service life and are no longer serving motorists' needs. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the policies, proceduress, and criteria used by states for freeway sign evaluation and replacement programs.

Download or read book Nighttime Legibility of Ground mounted Traffic Signs as a Function of Font Color and Retroreflective Sheeting Type written by Susan T. Chrysler and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A closed course nighttime legibility study measured legibility distance for 6-in. letters using Highway Series D and two experimental fonts, Clearview Condensed Road and a D-Modified font. The Clearview font has a thinner stroke width than Series D and was used for white-on-green signs. The D-Modified font has a thicker stroke width than Series D and was used for black letters on white, yellow, and orange backgrounds. Three types of retroreflective sheeting were tested: ASTM Types III, VIII, and IX.
