CTDOT Pavement Marking Inventory and Retro Reflectivity Compliance

The primary objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive baseline dataset and methodology to create a Pavement Marking Index. This index will provide a systematic approach to inventory, assess, and manage the pavement markings on all state roads in Connecticut. It will enable the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) to ensure compliance with the Federal Register (87 FR 47921) and to efficiently plan and prioritize the maintenance and replacement of pavement markings. This will enhance road safety and optimize resource allocation. Additionally, this research may assist other states in developing similar programs.
