AttachmentA City of Roseville, Minnesota Sign Retroreflectivity Policy Article I. Purpose and Goal. The purpose of this policy is to establish how the City of Roseville will implement an assessment or management method, or combination of methods, to meet the minimum sign retroreflectivity requirements in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN MUTCD). Substantial conformance with the MN MUTCD is achieved by having a method in place to maintain minimum retroreflectivity levels. Conformance does not require or guarantee that every individual sign in the city will meet or exceed the minimum retroreflective levels at every point in time. The goal of this policy is to improve public safety on the city’s streets and roads and prioritize the city’s limited resources to replace signs. Article II. Applicable Signs. This policy applies to all regulatory, warning, and guide signs as set forth in the MN MUTCD. \[Pursuant to Section 2A.8 of the MN MUTCD the city excludes the following signs from the retroreflectivity maintenance guidelines: A.Parking, Standing, and Stopping signs (R7 and R8 series) B.Walking/Hitchhiking/Crossing signs (R9 series, R10-1 through R10-4b) C.Acknowledgment signs, including Memorial signs D.All signs with blue or brown backgrounds E.Bikeway signs that are intended for exclusive use by bicyclists or pedestrians\] Article III.
