Join FHWA for a free 90-minute webinar on Nighttime Visibility for Safety & the importance of signs and pavement markings.

The nighttime fatality rate on the nation’s roadways is three times higher than the daytime rate, and while signs and pavement markings visible to motorists are essential in keeping motorists on the road, adequately maintaining the nighttime visibility of these traffic control devices can be a challenge for road owners.

Come hear how state DOTs are tackling the maintenance of these devices. William McLane, P.E., MBA, will explain how TxDOT has developed an innovative methodology to track both the life cycle of traffic control devices and evaluate their retroreflectivity in real time.

In addition, Alex Wassman, P.E., will cover the evolution of sign inspections by the MoDOT since the early 1990s, including the move towards contracted inspections and interval-based, corridor-wide replacements in some districts.

The session will close with a discussion of the pros and cons of these new methods as well as the decision-making process behind their implementation.
