Sign Management Project Overview
This project focuses on establishing a comprehensive sign management system to ensure compliance with MUTCD standards for maintaining sign retroreflectivity. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) aims to develop a statewide program that optimizes resources, minimizes costs, and enhances safety by efficiently managing traffic signs. The key objectives include creating sign inventories, implementing retroreflectivity management methods, and utilizing tools like Sign Click and Photolog Van. A dedicated team comprising professionals with expertise in sign inventory, installation, technology, retroreflectivity, and project steering is entrusted with executing the project tasks effectively.
