Review regional traffic sign standards
Review the regional traffic sign standards to ensure compliance with local regulations. Understand the requirements and specifications for different types of traffic signs. Identify any updates or changes to the standards that may impact the inspection process.
Identify type of traffic signs under inspection
Determine the specific types of traffic signs that will be inspected. This could include regulatory signs, warning signs, or informational signs. Specify the categories and types of signs to be inspected to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
1
Regulatory signs
2
Warning signs
3
Informational signs
Visual inspection of physical condition of traffic signs
Conduct a visual inspection of the physical condition of the traffic signs. Look for any visible damage, wear and tear, or deterioration that may affect their functionality. Document any issues or defects observed during the inspection.
1
Visible damage
2
Signs in good condition
3
Wear and tear
4
Deterioration
Validate dimensions and specifications against standards
Verify that the dimensions and specifications of the traffic signs match the regional standards. Measure the size, shape, and other relevant specifications to ensure compliance. If any discrepancies are found, document them for further action.
1
Size mismatch
2
Shape mismatch
3
Specification deviation
Inspect visibility of traffic signs
Assess the visibility of the traffic signs, ensuring they are easily seen by drivers. Check for any obstructions, fading, or other factors that may affect visibility. Determine if the signs meet the required visibility standards.
1
Obstructions
2
Fading
3
Visibility standards met
Check correct placement and orientation of traffic signs
Examine the placement and orientation of the traffic signs to ensure they are correctly positioned. Verify that the signs are installed at the appropriate height, angle, and distance for optimal visibility and effectiveness.
1
Correct height
2
Proper angle
3
Optimal distance
Perform night visibility checks
Conduct visibility checks during nighttime conditions to assess the visibility of the signs in low light or dark environments. Use appropriate lighting methods or devices to examine the signs' visibility and legibility.
1
Visibility in low light
2
Legibility in dark conditions
Inspect retroreflectivity of traffic signs
Evaluate the retroreflectivity of the traffic signs. Use a retroreflectometer or similar device to measure the signs' ability to reflect light. Compare the readings to the required retroreflectivity standards to determine compliance.
1
Meets retroreflectivity standards
2
Does not meet retroreflectivity standards
Verify adherence to local traffic regulations
Ensure that the traffic signs adhere to the local traffic regulations and guidelines. Check if the signs display the correct symbols, messages, and colors as specified in the regulations. Identify any violations or non-compliance with the regulations.
1
Correct symbols and messages
2
Proper colors
3
Regulations compliance
Document results of each inspection
Record the results of each inspection. Document any findings, observations, or issues related to the traffic signs. Include details such as the date of inspection, location, and any relevant photographs or supporting documentation.
Photograph inspected traffic signs
Capture photographic evidence of the inspected traffic signs. Take clear and high-quality photographs that accurately depict the condition, placement, and visibility of the signs. Ensure that the photographs provide sufficient detail to support the inspection findings.
Compile completed inspections into a comprehensive report
Compile all completed inspections into a comprehensive report. Gather the inspection findings, observations, photographs, and any other relevant information. Organize the information in a clear and structured manner to create a comprehensive report.

Coordinate necessary revisions or replacements if needed
Coordinate any necessary revisions or replacements for the traffic signs. If any signs are found to be non-compliant or in need of repair, initiate the process to revise or replace them. Communicate with the relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure timely action.
1
Non-compliant signs
2
Signs in need of repair
Dispatch repair and maintenance crew for corrective actions
Arrange for a repair and maintenance crew to carry out the necessary corrective actions. Coordinate with the team responsible for repairing or replacing the traffic signs. Ensure that the crew has the required tools, materials, and resources to complete the tasks effectively.
Log corrective actions taken
Maintain a log of the corrective actions taken for each traffic sign. Record the details of the repairs, replacements, or revisions performed. Include information such as the date, description of the actions taken, and any associated costs or resources utilized.
Perform follow-up inspections
Conduct follow-up inspections to verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions taken. Inspect the repaired or replaced signs to ensure they meet the required standards and regulations. Document the results of the follow-up inspections.
1
Compliant signs
2
Non-compliant signs
Prepare and submit final Quality Control Report
Prepare the final Quality Control Report summarizing the entire traffic sign inspection process. Include an overview of the inspections conducted, findings, corrective actions taken, and follow-up inspection results. Submit the report to the designated recipients for review and approval.
Archive QC reports and related documentation
Archive the Quality Control (QC) reports and any related documentation for future reference. Ensure that all documents are properly labeled and stored in a secure and organized manner. Maintain a record of the archived reports for easy retrieval if needed.
