Book excerpt: The main objective of this project was to determine, quantify, and present to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) alternative approaches for meeting the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) proposed minimum level of retroreflectivity for signs. This study used knowledge of the current NCDOT sign maintenance practices to synthesize a list of components and alternatives to comply with the standard. The fundamental contribution of the work lies in creating alternative methods to evaluating sign retroreflectivity to ensure compliance with a standard while minimizing the cost and labor required to do so.
