Meeting the Federal Highway Administration Paintline Reflectivity Minimum Standard

Will you be in compliance by the 2026 deadline?

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has established a new minimum standard for pavement marking “retroreflectivity," improving safety for all road users by ensuring that pavement markings are made more visible in dark or low light conditions.

The FHWA’s final rule “establishes minimum maintained retroreflectivity levels for longitudinal pavement markings on all roads open to public travel with speed limits of 35 mph or greater.” The final rule also requires state and local agencies or officials to implement a method by 2026 for maintaining pavement marking retroreflectivity at or above minimum levels. These pavement marking improvements are eligible for 100% federal funding.
