Pavement Marking Plans

Stamped pavement marking plans are required for any project or maintenance activity in which the existing marking configuration will be modified. Plans are encouraged for those projects or maintenance work that includes replacement of existing markings, such as chip seal projects. Creating a pavement marking plan will:

• Ensure that the pavement marking on a project conforms to current standards;
• Aid field personnel during construction;
• Lessen the chance for installation errors;
• Aid the project designer in developing the bid item list and enable a more accurate cost estimate; and
• Support project documentation requirements and capture the decisions of the Engineer of Record.

Bicycle Facilities

Green-colored pavement markings are approved for use on state highways and all local jurisdiction roadways. Local jurisdictions must report all locations where green-markings are installed to ODOT.

Design standards for bicycle facilities can be found in the following manuals:

• MUTCD, chapter 9
• Oregon Supplement to the MUTCD, chapter 9C
• Traffic Line Manual, section B-30
• Standard Drawings, TM503 and TM530
• Standard Details, DET4560 and DET4570

The Federal Highway Administration provides a list of bicycle-related marking treatments and the approval status of each, i.e. available for implementation, experimental, etc.
