STREET SIGN INVENTORY
To further enhance traffic safety and improve maintenance operations, Athens Public Works
is using technology to inventory all street signs
in the city.

GIS/GPS technology is being used to map
each sign's location, and collect a database
of information concerning each sign. A new device, called a Retroreflectometer, is being
used to ensure that all signs are as bright and readable as possible.

Any sign found to be below specifications
will be replaced as time and budget allow.
