By means of a field test on new concrete pavement in a snow-free area, an evaluation was made of various pavement marking materials including reflectorized and unreflectorized raised buttons, hot-applied thermoplastics and standard paint. Evaluations included relative long-term costs, durability, wet and dry visibility, driver preference and traffic safety. The study concluded that raised markers were superior to standard paint in terms of durability driver preference and night visibility under wet conditions. Projected over a 10 year period, the initial and replacement costs of raised buttons was estimated to be compatible with that of paints. Accident data was insufficient and inconclusive with respect to the merits of the various markings. No conclusions were reached regarding comparative thermoplastic markings. (BPR abstract)
