White Retro
According to the Federal Highway Administration, approximately 42,000 people have been killed on U.S. roads each year for the last eight years. Even though only a quarter of travel occurs at night, about half of the traffic fatalities occur during nighttime hours. It is reasonable to assume that visible traffic signs could create safer driving conditions.
Maintaining traffic postings retro-reflectivity can help ensure that signs are always easily visible and recognizable on roads. This is why the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) established a new standard that now requires that all agencies adopt a sign maintenance program. By adopting a maintenance program, agencies will be able to meet new minimum retro-reflectivity requirements for traffic signs they've already installed.
Traffic Sign Compliance
Since traffic controlling postings are required to fulfill the roles of communicating regulatory, warning and guidance information at all times, MUTCD has developed a compliance plan to ensure retro-reflectivity maintenance.
• By January 2012, all agencies will have to establish and implement a sign maintenance program that addresses the minimum sign retro-reflectivity requirements.
• By January 2015, all agencies must comply with the new retro-reflectivity requirements for most of their traffic signs installed. This includes all red and white or white and black regulatory postings, yellow and black warning postings, and ground-mounted green and white guide signs (excluding street name based postings).
• By January 2018, all agencies must comply with the new retro-reflectivity requirements for overhead guide signs and all street name signs.
To maintain minimum retro-reflectivity requirements, one or more of the following assessment or management methods must be used.
• Nighttime Visual Inspection - The retro-reflectivity of an existing traffic sign is assessed by a trained sign inspector. The inspector conducts a visual inspection from a moving vehicle during nighttime conditions.
• Measured Retro-reflectivity - Traffic safety controlled signs are measured with an instrument for retro-reflectivity.
• Expected Sign Life - Signs are replaced based on age, warranty or degradation of sign sheeting.
• Blanket Replacement - Traffic signs are replaced at specified intervals based on the shortest life of material used.
• Control Signs - Replacement of traffic safety signs in the field is based on the performance of a sample set of control signs.
Proper retro-reflectivity of your traffic safety posting can greatly reduce the probability of accidents occurring. Maintaining your traffic postings by following the MUTCD guidelines for retro-reflectivity keeps people safe and ensures that your traffic based signs are always visible.
