TxDOT currently does not have an objective statewide pavement marking management program, although one may be developed in the near future. Very little engineering is currently involved with the selection and construction of pavement marking materials and the maintenance and rehabilitation of markings. Most districts base restripe decisions on visual observations performed on an annual basis, while some restripe based on a regular cycle. On many occasions, markings are restriped before or after their end of service life, wasting monetary resources and presenting safety issues. In addition, activities at the federal level suggest that in the future markings will be required to meet minimum in-service levels of retroreflectivity.
