The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is interested in establishing minimum retroreflectivity requirements for sign sheeting used on the State Highway System. This study consisted of a thorough literature review of minimum retroreflectivity needs and a nationwide survey which identified types of sheeting used and usage policies among the states. Forty-eight states were surveyed regarding sign sheeting and 35 states answered the questionnaire.
