摘要

The report is the sixth in a series on Optimizing Maintenance Activities. These studies using Value Engineering Techniques are being sponsored by the Implementation Division and conducted by teams of maintenance and operations engineers from several highway agencies. The study was conducted by Arkansas, Florida and Kentucky. The report includes specific recommendations in the areas of proliferation of signs traffic sign supports, centralized vs. decentralized sign shops, new equipment and procedures. Implementation of results will have different effects in each State depending upon the current practices. For some States the practices recommended have already been implemented, for others modifying existing procedures will result in a substantial cost saving.
