Pavement markings play one of the most important safety functions on our roads.

Many materials can be used for pavement markings. However, the performance and cost of the different materials vary greatly. Additionally, some materials are more appropriate for a given set of circumstances than other materials. The useful life of a pavement marking material often varies widely based on many factors. Finally, many agencies don’t have the financial resources to utilize the ideal solution and have to make do with what they have.

This session provides information on material selection and installation guidelines for pavement markings. The speakers will discuss what to consider when purchasing materials, how to determine the true cost of the material and what can be done for agencies with small budgets.

After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:

Determine if they are currently using the best materials
Identify additional options for their roadways
Communicate the actual cost of their current processes.
