Development of Guidelines for Vehicle and Equipment Marking and Lighting
Roadway operations equipment used by state departments of transportation (DOTs)
and transportation agencies for activities such as construction, maintenance, and incident
response generally deploys on all types of roadways, during daytime and nighttime hours, and in
all weather conditions. To improve motorist and worker safety, equipment must be readily seen
and recognized.
NCHRP Research Report 1085: Development of Guidelines for Vehicle and Equipment Marking and Lighting,
from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program,
presents proposed guidelines for vehicle and equipment color,
marking, and lighting practices.
Supplemental to the report are a
presentation and an
implementation memo.
