The Department is committed to following Federal Regulation (49CFR571.108) regarding conspicuity marking tape on specified equipment. In order to further enhance the safety of GDOT employees traveling on the state’s transportation system, rolling stock equipment and additional designated vehicles will require conspicuity tape markings as outlined in this policy.
All new vehicles and equipment ordered by the Office of Equipment Management (OEM) with the prefixes listed below shall be marked with the correct color conspicuity tape prior to being issued to the Districts or Offices.
In the event of an accident resulting in damages to a vehicle or a piece of equipment that require replacement of conspicuity tape, district shops shall refer to the guide located on the OEM web site for actual marking locations of the tape for each vehicle and equipment type. The conspicuity tape marking shall be red and white on equipment types such as mechanic/flatbed trucks and up. Pickups, vans, and Suburbans shall be color coordinated, i.e. yellow on yellow, or white on white.
OEM inspectors, during their normal cycle of PM inspections, will check each vehicle and piece of equipment for these markings to insure compliance with stated policy.
