TY - JOUR PY - 1952// TI - Performance test: pavement marking materials JO - Highway Research Board bulletin A1 - Burch, Robert A. SP - 96 EP - 98 VL - 57 IS - N2 - The possibility of finding a method to make awards for pavement marking materials on a performance basis is explored. It is intended to apply pavement marking materials applied by vendors transversely to a heavy traffic volume highway in order to get accelerated wear and shorten required time of test. The material tested was of the pre-mixed reflectorized type.

METHODS of rating performance of these materials are discussed. A method to arrive at a numerical value of cost is presented. It is concluded that more work is needed to develop a convenient practical field method to evaluate the performance and characteristics of material. Development of a direct-reading photometer would be helpful.
