Abstract
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) uses a variety of different pavement marking systems and has experienced a wide range of pavement marking performance. In an effort to maximize marking performance and to optimize marking selection, IDOT initiated a research project to evaluate the performance of all currently approved marking types to develop a pavement marking selection guide based on performance results. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the performance of pavement markings on both portland cement concrete (PCC) and hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements over a period of four years. Field investigations were conducted to gather data on the durability and visibility of markings and the compatibility between markings and pavement materials. From the results of the study and a life-cycle cost analysis, Applied Research Associates (ARA) developed a pavement marking selection guide. Because the successful performance of a marking depends largely on controlling many variables during the installation of the marking, this guide includes pavement marking installation inspection methods for use by IDOT inspectors.
