Pavement Markings
OVERVIEW
Pavement markings are applied for the purpose of regulating and guiding the movement of traffic. Applying markings is more than simply placing lines on the roadway. It is installing traffic guidance and a regulation system on a roadway surface. This workshop provides an overview of pavement markings, including their purpose in terms of driver needs, common types of materials, marking applications, and operation and maintenance issues.
This class can be substituted for the Roads Scholar I Proper Signs and Markings class.
