Asset Management for Road Signage
Asset2020 leads the way to Sign Retroreflectivity Compliance
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) amended the United States Code to clarify the applicability of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) to any road open to public travel. So, what does this mean? If the public travels on property you own or manage, all of your traffic signs and devices must conform to federal regulations by implementing an effective assessment or management method designed to maintain sign retroreflectivity at or above the established minimum levels.
This includes areas such as:
Federal, State & Local Sector
|
Private Sector
|
With implementation of Asset2020 solutions, clients can expect a service that meets their expectations, is cost effective, responsive and based upon a partnership for success that positions them for meeting these newly established mandates.
Asset2020 assist with implementation of one or more of the following assessment or management methods for maintaining sign retroreflectivity:
I. Visual Nighttime Inspection—The retroreflectivity of an existing sign is assessed by a trained sign inspector conducting a visual inspection from a moving vehicle during nighttime conditions. Signs that are visually identified by the inspector to have retroreflectivity below the minimum levels should be replaced.
II. Measured Sign Retroreflectivity—Sign retroreflectivity is measured using a retroreflectometer. Signs with retroreflectivity below the minimum levels should be replaced.
III. Expected Sign Life—When signs are installed, the installation date is labeled or recorded so that the age of a sign is known. The age of the sign is compared to the expected sign life. The expected sign life is based on the experience of sign retroreflectivity degradation in a geographic area compared to the minimum levels. Signs older than the expected life should be replaced.
IV. Blanket Replacement—All signs in an area/corridor, or of a given type, should be replaced at specified intervals. This eliminates the need to assess retroreflectivity or track the life of individual signs. The replacement interval is based on the expected sign life, compared to the minimum levels, for the shortest-life material used on the affected signs.
