Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	279 Steve Hall Agency	Y Approve	This appears to be a good quality product. The "in-rail" trapezoidal markers are likely more economical and would thus present more wide-scale utility, but for specific installations where more demarcation was desirable, this would be a decent option.

KYTC	592 Tim Tharpe Agency	U Undecided	This product appears to have relevant use. It should be compared to other comparable products that have been approved for use on our highways.	May 17, 2016	1749
KYTC	616 Ryan Griffith Agency	Y Approve		May 12, 2016	1733
