摘要：	On behalf of the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), Kittelson & Associates, Inc. (KAI) is conducting an evaluation of an experimental traffic control device at a Maryland toll plaza. This report summarizes our findings for the evaluation of the purple dot pavement marking treatment. The purple dots were installed on the northbound Fort McHenry Toll Plaza approach in Baltimore, Maryland in June 2011. They were installed for three dedicated E-Z Pass (Trade Name) lanes (Lanes 3, 6, and 10) as shown in Figure 4 in the main section of this report. The goal of applying the purple dots is to improve toll plaza operations and safety between the tunnel mouth and toll plaza by reducing conflicts created by lane changes and weaving just prior to the plaza. Additionally, the purple dots are intended to improve wayfinding for E-ZPass (Trade Name) customers.
