Pavement markings are lines drawn on a pavement surface to provide vital information to
road users pertaining to lane restrictions and vehicle movements, which if adhered to, results in
improved safety and smooth travelling to road users.
Pavement markings’ visibility is quantified into a parameter called retroreflectivity, which
is a measure of how well the markings can be seen by road users.
The importance of the factors affecting pavement markings differs from one publication to
another, which cause the effective management of pavement markings a difficult process. In
addressing this concern, this thesis investigated factors affecting pavement markings and
marking retroreflectivity in Tennessee highways using retroreflectivity data collected on asphalt
highways. Quantifiable factors affecting pavement markings retroreflectivity are analyzed, and
linear degradation models are developed using regression analysis. The analysis shows that age
and traffic have significant impacts on pavement marking retroreflectivity degradation. |
