| 摘要： | The purpose of this project was to develop and distribute a manual that would provide local agencies in Iowa with practical advice and guidance for traffic control devices and pavement markings installation and maintenance. The project included the following seven tasks: (1) a review of available literature and references pertinent to traffic control, (2) the formation of an expert advisor guidance committee to recommend and assist in the development of a reference manual, (3) a survey of local agencies in Iowa to assess needs and concerns, (4) an investigation of strategies for inventory systems to assist local governments in the management of traffic control programs, (5) the development and distribution of the manual and operating statement, (6) the identification and production of miscellaneous outreach products to augment the research effort, and (7) the preparation of a project report to document the research activities. This report is presented in five sections. Section 1 consists of the introduction. Section 2 summarizes the results of the literature search and review. Traffic control device and pavement marking designs and applications are addressed, and information about traffic control and pavement marking inspection procedures, inventory systems and strategies, maintenance practices, shop and stock management, and work zone use are included. Section 3 describes the common traffic control/pavement marking practices and concerns of local transportation agencies in Iowa. This information is summarized from the results of the project survey. A discussion of the survey development and distribution is included. Section 4 provides a description of the manual, "Iowa Traffic Control Devices and Pavement Markings: A Manual for Cities and Counties." Sample topics from the manual are included and outreach opportunities identified. Finally, section 5 presents the conclusions and recommendations of the project team based on information collected in the literature review and the survey responses. |
