171 more confidently, the overall safety difference in the number of crashes when compared to driving with less bright markings is approximately zero. As established by several studies, when sight detection distance is reduced, as it is during nondaylight, and adverse weather, lane control becomes more difficult and driver work load increases, causing drivers to compensate by reducing their speed.

172 CMF is given in the fifth row of Table 85, and they range from a high of 1.7 to a low of 0.7. This last row of Table 85 can now be compared to the seasonal factors estimated in this study (Table 83)

173 6.4. Limitations of the Study This study does not address the safety effect of pavement markings or markers themselves, rather the focus has been on the safety effect of retroreflectivity.
