FHWA regulations in MUTCD Section 2A.09 require that beginning in 2012 municipalities shall implement and maintain an assessment or management method that is designed to maintain traffic sign retroreflectivity on a continual basis.
Rental of the Delta Retrosign GR3 is a program proven to aide you in meeting compliance dates on signs tht are subject to MUTCD compliance.
Offered exclusively in North America by TAPCO, Delta's Retrosign GR3 retroreflectometer is a hand-held instrument for measuring retroreflection of traffic signs. The GR3 measures the coefficient of retroreflection, RA, and meets all U.S. and European standards including the FHWA MUTCD.
The Retrosign GR3 is designed to easily interface with current and future ID tagging and asset management systems. When used together as an inventory system you not only track reflectivity but also develop a complete database of signs and assemblies in the field and in your facility.
