This synthesis will be of interest to traffic engineers, maintenance managers, sign shop supervisors, and others interested in the maintenance of street and highway signs. Detailed information is presented on the current practices of state and local governments in managing the maintenance of street and highway signs within their jurisdictions. The maintenance of street and highway signs is viewed as a means for improving the effectiveness of a signing system. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the maintenance practices of several state and local highway agencies along with the rationale for those practices. It covers inspection, refurbishing, and replacement practices, along with information on equipment and personnel requirements.

In 2008 the FHWA added new regulations to the MUT CD regarding minimum levels of retroreflectivity for traffic signs. This action changed the guidance relating to maintaining minimum levels of retroreflectivity from a recommended practice to a required activity. The new regulations went into effect at the national level in January, 2008 and were added to Minnesota's Manual in February, 2008. The adoption of these new regulations means that all agencies are required to adopt a method of maintaining their signs by January, 2012, to have all ground mounted signs meet the new requirements by January, 2015 and all signs meet the requirements by January, 2018. This Handbook is intended to provide local agencies with information to help maintain the traffic signs on their system of roads. The Handbook identifies maintenance methods, provides an overview of estimated annual maintenance costs and includes a discussion of policy development, conducting engineering studies and a summary of what is known about the effectiveness of traffic signs. A key part of the message is that estimated costs associated with meeting the new requirements far exceeds the typical sign maintenance budget for most local agencies and that the only part of the cost equation that the agencies control is the size of their inventory. As a result, agencies are encouraged to determine what they can afford for a sign maintenance budget and then take the necessary steps to adjust their inventory to match.

The objective of this report is to give a preliminary assessment of the impact that revised retroreflectivity requirements will have on the State of Montana. Conclusions and recommendations are made future management and handling of sign inventory data in Montana. This objective is addressed through the following tasks: Task A: Review, assimilation and analyses of current literature available on a nationwide basis; Task B: Discussion of results from a multi state phone solicitation regarding state sign management practices and policies; Task C: An assessment of sign reflectivity inspection equipment and sampling methodology; and Task D: Evaluation of Montana sign inventory on the basis of current practices and condition of a limited sampling of signs. Recommendations of this report include upgrading of, or improvements to Montana Department of Transportation sign management system and multi-district statewide retroreflective sampling to better determine the impacts revised standards may have.

To assist agencies in developing a cost-effective program for timely replacement of ineffective signs, this document was prepared. Initially the report describes the principles of retroreflectivity, the types of retroreflective materials, and the proposed minimum retroreflectivity guidelines. Then, the report presents the concept of a sign management system, and provides guidance for developing a sign inventory, conducting sign inspections, and maintaining signs. The report concludes with discussing options that State and local agencies can follow for replacing their ineffective signs and offers a minimum and desirable program.

Highway agencies with an inventory of traffic signs must adopt a method of maintaining those signs so that the retroreflectivity exceeds established thresholds. Understanding expected sign life can help agencies phase sign replacements over a number of years in order to manage maintenance costs. The primary goal of this research is to provide objective data about sign life based on the degradation of retroreflectivity and color over time. A literature review found sign retroreflectivity research around the country, however, none of the studies are conclusive. Eight Minnesota agencies took retroreflectometer readings on in-place signs across the state. Disaggregated measurements by sheeting material and color did not leave a large enough sample for conclusive results, and very few signs fell below minimum retroreflectivity thresholds. Data suggests sign life exceeds the manufacturer's warranty and that a controlled environment with known conditions will produce more reliable data. MnDOT established a test deck at MnROAD to take multiple retroreflectivity and color readings over time to the point of failure in a controlled environment. The best information inferred from the results is an estimate for an expected sign life of 12 to 20 years for beaded sheeting and 15 to 30 years for prismatic sheeting. Agencies are encouraged to move forward and adopt a sign maintenance method and expected sign life by bringing sign management decisions under an umbrella of immunity. This document has suggested best policy practices and statements for sign maintenance and management assembled by a panel including engineers and risk management specialists.
