Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	567 Brandi Mitchell Agency	N Disapprove	This material needs 3 year data from the NTPEP test deck submitted. (October 30, 2017) Product reviewed May 24, 2018 and 3 year data does not meet requirements. Products were re-evaluated. The white does not meet standard based on the coefficient of retroreflection. However, the yellow, green and blue products do meet the standard. Unfortunately, none of these products will be added to the List of Approved Materials as this office has been advised that these colors in Type IX are not recommended for use with any sign combinations in Kentucky. The white sign sheeting product 7900-010 will be approved based on review of new data released by NTPEP. The fluorescent yellow and fluorescent yellow green are not approved based on the coefficient of retroreflection data.	Nov 15, 2018	2243
