Metalcraft Helps City of Ames Track Retroreflectivity with Barcodes

The City of Ames needed a more efficient way to manage retroreflectivity data for traffic signs to improve safety, particularly for nighttime driving. Partnering with Metalcraft, they implemented durable barcode tags to assign each traffic sign a unique ID number linked to GPS location data. These barcodes integrate seamlessly with the city’s retroreflectometer, allowing workers to easily scan signs, record maintenance history, and track retroreflectivity levels.

This new process has streamlined Ames’ sign management system, eliminating the need for manual records and improving efficiency. The solution not only ensures that signs meet government safety standards but also saves time and money for the city.
