This appendix contains tables showing the age of pavement markings as they reach various levels of retroreflectivity. The retroreflectivity degradation curves from appendix B were used to determine the age of the markings when they reached 250, 200, 150, and 100 mcd/m2/lux. These levels of retroreflectivity were selected because they incrementally represent a marking that is approaching a lower level of maintained retroreflectivity. As the marking reaches a minimum retroreflectivity level, the marking will need to be replaced. In addition to the age of the marking at these retroreflectivity levels, the tables include the cost of the marking per mile per year of service. The costs of each marking were described in the pavement marking costs section of this report. For more specific marking information, refer to appendix A.
