Description

Explore standard types and uses of pavement markings and learn about successful practices for applying and inspecting them. This modular training opportunity includes three, 2-hour sessions. Each session is a valuable stand-alone opportunity to explore just the right content you need.

You will have opportunities in each session to explore pavement marking resources—such as the MUTCD and a variety of local, state, and FHWA documents—and to use those resources to answer questions and make decisions that mirror on-the-job tasks. In each session, we uncover valuable tips from across the country that your agency might use for installing and inspecting pavement markings, and we dig into the Nevada specifications, plans, and field inspection guides.

Each is a fun and interactive course, so please join us and plan to participate fully!
