Look into the cost of rumble strips that would help in determining low cost interventionsSafe RoadsLaureen Sendel-GrantMCPCOct 2021 - Lane Departure- Rumble strip installation cost is most dependent on the length of the project
- Rectangular milled strips are ~25-30% cheaper than sinusoidal
- Company 1, PA: charges rumble strip installation by the day (~10 miles of strip/day) with cost of between $8-10k depending on: starts and stops, straight runs vs curves, multiple roads vs one straight shot
- Company 2, PA: $0.10-0.15/foot for rectangular and ~$0.20/foot for sinusoidal. If the work is being done independently of a resurfacing project then it costs more for clean-up (sweeper and dump truck) up to another $0.10/foot.
