Pavement markings are an essential component of highway construction and roadway safety. Drivers need to quickly identify where the markings are and what they are telling them. Good pavement markings provide critical elements to guide drivers on correct road paths, supplement road signs to inform and warn drivers, and improve night driving conditions.
Mn/Model, an archaeological predictive model developed by Mn/DOT in the late 1990s, applies spatial analysis over large areas to determine the probability of finding precontact archaeological sites and to assess the need for archaeological surveys. The model is used for Section 106 reviews of Mn/DOT projects, helping to decide which areas to avoid and which to survey, as well as providing valuable information for survey design. It also helps Mn/DOT to avoid impacts on archaeological sites and to save money on unnecessary surveys.
