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. |
