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.

MnDOT Metro District Traffic Engineering is reviewing its practices for determining traffic sign life expectancy and replacement. The Metro District is interested in understanding the state of the practice regarding traffic sign colors, life cycles and management, specifically whether signs are selected for replacement based on a specific age or characteristics such as color fade, reduced retroreflectivity levels and loss of fluorescence. In addition, the Metro District would like to know the role that sign sheeting types and fabrication methods play in sign color selection and sign life expectations and replacement. To determine the state of the practice, a survey was sent to representatives of all state departments of transportation, several metropolitan area agencies and select Canadian provinces. This Transportation Research Synthesis includes findings from the survey along with the results of a literature search regarding sign life expectancy and replacement.

Volume 1 addresses how to apply a methodology for estimating the life expectancies of major types of highway system assets. The methodology is designed for use in lifecycle cost analyses that support management decision making. Volume 2 describes the technical issues and data needs associated with estimating asset life expectancies and the practices used in a number of fields--such as the energy and financial industries--to make such estimates.

The ability to predict coefficient of retroreflection (RA) values for inservice traffic signs is critical for the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Sign Management System (SMS). Within the SMS, tools for predicting inservice retroreflective performance of traffic signs and for determining the motorist's visual needs are required. The research which focuses on the motorist's needs in terms of traffic sign luminance, legibility distance, conspicuity, etc., is on-going by others. The project reported on here evaluated the effects of climatological and geographic variables on sign sheeting deterioration. A national data collection effort was undertaken. Data samples from 6,275 traffic signs were collected across the country.

Traffic signs play a vital role in directing, informing and controlling road users' behaviour in an effort to make the roads as safe as possible for everyone. A knowledge of traffic signs is there essential, not just for new drivers or riders needing to pass their theory test, but for all road users, including experienced professional drivers. This fully updated edition of the publication supersedes the previous 4th edition (1995, ISBN 09780115516122) and contains information designed to illustrate and explain the vast majority of traffic signs the road user is likely to encounter.
