Book Description
The current U.S. practice for measuring retro-reflective sheeting materials for traffic signs primarily is based on a standard measurement geometry of 0.2 degrees and -4.0 degrees, referring to the observation and entrance angles of retro-reflectors, respectively (correct?). When combined, these two angles represent a specific geometry for testing retro-reflective sheeting materials. This geometry was chosen for various reasons, but it does not reflect realistic driving situations. This report details the work that was performed to reevaluate the specified geometry for measuring the performance of retro-reflective sheeting materials. The recommendations include a revised standard measurement geometry for retro-reflective sheeting materials, various changes to the appropriate specifications, a revised set of minimum in-service retroreflectivity levels at the revised standard measurement geometry, and considerations for how agencies can accommodate larger vehicles with respect to the proposed minimum retroreflectivity levels.
