ROADWAY PAVEMENT MARKINGS

THE COMMITTEE ON ROADWAY PAVEMENT MARKINGS WAS FORMED IN 1949 AS A RESULT OF REQUESTS FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON RESEARCH OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF STATE HIGHWAY OFFICIALS, BOTH INDICATING A NEED FOR RESEARCH ON THE COMPARATIVE MERITS OF DIFFERENT PATTERNS AND COLORS FOR PAVEMENT MARKINGS IN NO-PASSING ZONES. A QUESTIONNAIRE WAS CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE STATES AND MEXICO AND CANADA TO ASCERTAIN CURRENT PRACTICES. A SET OF QUESTIONS HAS BEEN DRAWN UP THAT WILL BE USED IN THE COMING YEAR TO REACH JUDGMENTS OF MERIT.
