Free Retroreflectivity Kit

LHTAC is providing up to two FREE Retroreflectivity Sign Testing Kits to each Local Highway Jurisdiction(LHJ). These kits are intended to serve as an affordable alternative to purchasing a costly retroreflectometer. Sign kits can be used to assess the retroreflectivity of signs in your jurisdiction to insure compliance with the minimum levels established in the current version of the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Our kits now come with orange! If you already received a kit without the orange panel, please contact us and we can mail the new piece out.

Consultants are you feeling left out? You can purchase a kit $50. LHJs wanting more than two kits can also pay the $50 fee for additional kits.

If you would like to receive a kit or if you have questions please email us at LHTAC@LHTAC.org.
