Abstract: The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) requires the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of each appropriate Federal land management agency to develop, to the extent appropriate, safety, bridge, pavement, and congestion management systems for roads funded under the Federal Lands Highway Program (FLHP). The Secretary of Transportation has delegated the authority to the FHWA to serve as the lead agency within the U.S. DOT to implement the FLHP. The roads funded under the FLHP include park roads and parkways, forest highways, refuge roads, and Indian reservation roads. This rulemaking would provide for the development and implementation of pavement, bridge, safety, and congestion management systems for transportation facilities under the National Park Service jurisdiction and funded by the FLHP. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Abstract: This rulemaking would examine whether to revise the regulation on National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) to incorporate current, state-of-the-art bridge inspection practices that public authorities may be using. It has been fourteen years since the NBIS regulations were updated. The experience, material, and technology changes over time dictate that the FHWA take a fresh look at these regulations. The FHWA has received some unsolicited comments from engineers, inspectors, transportation planners, and others recommending a number of changes to the FHWA's NBIS regulations. In revising these regulations the FHWA is considering incorporating a number of the FHWA policy memorandums and technical advisories into the regulation. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Stage: NPRM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) to include methods to maintain traffic sign retroreflectivity. The maintenance methods would establish a basis for improving nighttime visibility of traffic signs to promote safety, enhance traffic operations, and facilitate comfort and convenience for all drivers. The changes would be designated as Revision No. 1 to the 2003 Edition of the MUTCD. This rulemaking was prompted by the FY 1993 DOT and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which in 1998, ASHTO requested a delay in rulemaking until formal ASHTO recommendations could be developed based on research completed. ASHTO submitted recommendations in 2000. Further studies were completed in 2001. During 2002 the Texas Transportation Institute, under contract to the FHWA, conducted four workshops on sign retroreflectivity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
