How WeSolve
The Problem
Jan. 22, 2008 FHWA Mandate – By Jan. 2012 public agencies must establish & implement a method to maintain sign retroreflectivity
Nighttime crash rate is three times the daytime crash rate – improving sign visibility helps everyone
Failure to adhere to federal mandate & standards, reduced sign visibility, increase in crashes, increased liability
Implement a GIS-based Sign Inventory & Management System using Best Practices & all five of the business patterns
Full compliance with FHWA mandate, improve sign visibility, reduce crashes, limit liability, increased efficiencies, support better decisions, etc…
