Caltrans is installing retro-reflective signs which provide a double bonus for the public: they’re illuminated by motorists’ headlights, making them more visible than traditional signage, and they don’t require electricity.

This reduces costs and staff time in the field, increasing safety for everyone as a result.

In this video, Caltrans crew removes old signage to install a new retro-reflective sign on Interstate 80 in Sacramento.

This News Flash is the 60th in a series of videos highlighting Caltrans’ activities that present the wide-ranging and critical work that Caltrans does to enhance California’s economy and livability.
