A guide to small sign support hardware / by AASHTO-AGC-ARTBA Joint Cooperation Committee.Subcommittee on New Highway Materials.Task Force No. 13.(CARDINAL)315771; American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.(CARDINAL)138446; American Road & Transportation Builders Association.(CARDINAL)290580; Associated General Contractors of America.(CARDINAL)150694;
Includes bibliographical references (page 227).Introduction -- Fastener components -- Post components -- Sign support systems -- References.Most small highway signs are supported by rolled steel shapes, extruded aluminum shapes, wood posts, steel flange-channel shapes, round tubes, pipes, square steel tubes or fiber reinforced plastic shapes. These may be used in a variety of ways to meet the dual requirements of (1) providing support for signs under a broad range of environmental conditions and (2) releasing when struck by a vehicle to minimize the chance of injury to vehicle occupants. This guide is a compilation of proprietary and non-proprietary small sign support hardware.

An evaluation of detectable warning surfaces for sidewalk curb ramps / by O'Leary, Amy A.(CARDINAL)312128; Virginia.Department of Transportation.(CARDINAL)291718; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 39-40).Final report.The 1991 Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines required the installation of a detectable warning surface (raised truncated domes) on sidewalk curb ramps to alert visually impaired people to potential hazards. Although this requirement was later suspended until 1996, there has been much debate about whether visually impaired people need detectable warnings on ramps and, if so, whether domes are the best option. The Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT's) current standard requires an exposed aggregate (gravel mixed into concrete) surface on curb ramps. This study evaluated seven warning surfaces for their detectability by the visually impaired and their ease of maneuverability for the mobility impaired. Information about the performance characteristics of different ramp surfaces was also obtained by telephone survey of transportation officials in Virginia and 21 other states. Test results for 52 visually impaired subjects indicated that the five domed surfaces were far more detectable than the aggregate surfaces; a majority of the totally blind subjects failed to detect the aggregates. Aggregate surfaces were clearly preferred by the six mobility impaired subjects, some of whom had notable difficulty maneuvering on the domed surfaces. Some visually impaired subjects made negative comments about the feel of the domed surfaces underfoot. Survey results indicated that other states are requiring a variety of ramp surfaces, not all of which are detectable warnings. Some areas using domes reported considerable winter maintenance damage. No maintenance damage to aggregate was reported, but Virginia respondents reported other kinds of problems with its installation and use. Selection of a curb ramp surface involves numerous trade offs, most notablytrade offdeoff between high detectability for the visually impaired and maneuverability for the mobility impaired.Performed by Virginia Transportation Research Council in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration and sponsored by the Virginia Dept. of Transportation under project no.
