TRB Webinar: Selecting Better Pavement Markings through Field Trials

August 10, 2020

2:00 PM - 3:30 PM (EDT)

Past

Topics

How can the quality of pavement markings be improved in a cost-effective and efficient manner? TRB conducted a webinar on Monday, August 10, 2020 from 2:00-3:30 PM Eastern that discussed how organizations can use field trials as tools for improving pavement markings. Presenters described transverse test decks that may be used to evaluate pavement markings, explaining how to choose the design parameters. The webinar explored how to mine existing data and compare products, and presenters identified how to utilize this data to make informed pavement marking material selections.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Technical Committee on Traffic Control Devices.

The slides and recording are available.
