摘要: |
The objective of this research project was to evaluate driver behavior in response to field installations of high-conspicuity materials on signs and sign posts. These materials were installed at locations where it was believed that they would provide a significant benefit to traffic safety. One product was required for this project: recommendations for the application of advanced sign sheeting materials, included in Chapter 6 of research report 4271-1. There were 11 applications for higher-conspicuity sign and sign post materials evaluated in the field. One application can be implemented statewide immediately, seven applications can be implemented as special treatments, or on an as-needed basis, and three applications can be implemented as experimental devices by permission of the Federal Highway Administration. |
