The engineer will, however, conduct post acceptance inspections periodically during a proving period to evaluate the performance of the marking. The proving period begins on the last day of the month, for all marking placed within each calendar month. For paint, the proving period is 180 days. For other marking, the proving period extends through April 15 of the next calendar year or 180 days, whichever is longer. If weather or road surface conditions prevent the engineer from fully evaluating the marking at the end of the proving period, the engineer may extend the proving period. Increase required retroreflectivity for marking materials. (2) The engineer will determine the percent failing during the proving period. The engineer will exclude failures due to abrasion loss at private entrances and within intersections, except for roundabouts. The department defines failure as discoloration, chipping, substrate exposure, or inadequate reflectivity. Color readings need to meet ASTM D6628. The department measures reflectivity in the direction of travel. Failing reflectivity, in millicandelas/lux/m2, is defined as: (3) The engineer will conduct an initial inspection of each marking section defined as follows: 1. Each edge line, lane line, or centerline, measured through any 0.5 mile section. 2. Gore marking or turning lane marking at a single interchange or intersection. 3. Each roundabout. (4) Replace all marking in sections with more than 10 percent failing and repair or replace marking that the engineer deems improperly constructed. If post-acceptance inspections uncover evidence of defective material or improper construction, the department may revoke acceptance.
