SIGNS AND SAFETY. TEMPORARY PAVEMENT MARKINGS

Studies are reported that evaluated both temporary day-night visible raised pavement marker adequacy and marking patterns in work zones. The first study was conducted to help find temporary markers that can withstand construction zone traffic. Two systems that met the marker requirements are described, and the results of the visibility and durability tests applied to 6 candidate markers are tabulated. The most desirable features in a day-night construction zone marker are listed. The second study investigated 10 candidate temporary marking treatments, namely, one base treatment consisting of 4-ft stripes with 36-ft gaps, and nine other treatments using variations in stripe length, gap length, and reflective and nonreflective raised pavement markers. Significant points that resulted from the studies are noted.
