FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR AN ALL-WHITE PAVEMENT MARKING SYSTEM

This report presents the findings of a research project to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an all-white pavement marking system in the United States. The researchers recommend that an all-white pavement marking system not be implemented. The report will be of particular interest to traffic engineers with responsibility for installing and maintaining pavement marking systems. The research team sought to quantify and/or identify the advantages, benefits, costs, drawbacks, disadvantages, risks, and implementation issues associated with converting the United States from the present yellow and white system of pavement markings to an all-white system.
