Signs rated "Fair" will be reviewed annually by NVI method until replaced with a new sign. If the date of sign installation is known, the Expected Sign Left method of replacement will be implemented Signs rated "Good" will be reviewed annually by the NVI method until replaced with a new sign. If the date of sign installation is known, the Expected Sign Left method of replacement will be implemented Expected Sign Life. The installation date is labeled or recorded when a sign is installed, so that the age of any given sign is known. The age of the sign is compared to the expected sign life. The expected sign life is based on the experience of sign retroreflectivity degradation in the City. Signs older than the expected life will be replaced. Article VII. Sign Replacement The City hereby establishes the following priority order in which road signs will be replaced: • First priority shall be given to replacing all signs determined not to meet applicable retroreflectivity standards. Top priority shall also be given to replacing missing or damaged signs determined to be of a priority for safety purposes. • Second priority shall be given to signs determined to be marginal in their retroreflectivity evaluation. • Third priority shall be given to all remaining signs as they come to the end of their anticipated service life, become damaged, etc. In addition, within each category above, further priority shall be given to warning and regulatory signs on roads with higher vehicle usage. After the initial replacement of signs as provided for in this Article or the installation of new signs, the City shall, for the purpose of complying with the requirements of the MN MUTCD, maintain minimum retroreflectivity standards, as budgetary factors allow, by replacing signs as they reach the end of the latter of their (a) warranty period; (b) expected life expectancy for the sheeting material used on the sign; or (c) expected life as determined by an authorized engineering study. Damaged, stolen, or missing signs may be replaced as needed. Article VIII. Modification and Deviation from Policy. The City reserves the right to modify this Sign Retroreflectivity Policy at any time if deemed to be in the best interests of the City based on safety, social, political and economic considerations. The Director of Public Works, or his or her designee, may authorize a deviation from the implementation of this policy in regard to a particular sign when deemed to be in the best
