Inspector’s Course for Traffic Sign Retroreflectivity
July 15, 2025 – 9:30am to 12:30pm EST
PDHs AVAILABLE
3 Professional Development Hours can be granted for this course. No partial credit available. Attendees must attend at least 90% of the webinar to get 3 PDHs.
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
To provide nighttime sign visibility, signs are made using retroreflective sheeting. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) includes traffic sign retroreflectivity requirements. To comply with these requirements, public agencies need to implement and then continue to use an assessment or management method that is designed to maintain traffic sign retroreflectivity at or above the minimum levels specified. Participants will be “walked through” the assessment and management methods available for conducting sign maintenance with respect to retroreflectivity.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Transportation practitioners are welcome to attend this session, but in general, this course is intended for those directly involved in sign maintenance, particularly sign retroreflectivity.
