Description
- CTDOT is responsible for maintaining 201,606 signs (regulatory, warning, and guide) that are located on State owned and maintained roadways. Sign inventory is also represented as 1,965,007 square feet of sign area.
- CTDOT defines a sign as a panel attached to a post(s) or sign structure and a sign assembly as the combination of sign panel(s) and their post(s), support, or sign structure at a single location.
- Overhead sign supports and foundations are managed as a separate asset.
State of Good
Repair (SOGR)
A sign installed within 17 years is classified as being in a State of Good Repair. This is based on expectations of retroreflectivity life. Retroreflectivity is a measure of the amount of light reflected by a surface back to the source of the light.
Sign Age
- More than 44% of all signs are within their expected sign life or effective service life.
- More than 60% of extruded aluminum signs are less than 25 years old.

Performance Projections
In order to maintain a State of Good Repair, approximately 350 extruded and 11,500 sheet signs need replacement each year. Currently, approximately 9,000 signs are replaced each year.
Asset Valuation
$159,260,002
Asset value is estimated using the replacement value. For signs, replacement value is the product of square footage and unit construction cost.
Note: This value does not include the cost of overhead sign supports and foundations.
Measures & Goals
There are no Federal requirements at this time. CTDOT has set the following sign condition goals:
- 80% or more of extruded aluminum signs in a SOGR
- 70% or more of sheet aluminum signs in a SOGR
Performance Projections
In order to maintain a State of Good Repair, nearly 500 extruded and 14,000 sheet signs need replacement each year. Currently, approximately 5,000 signs are replaced each year.

Extruded Aluminum Sign Performance Projections
Sheet Aluminum Sign Performance Projections
In this chart:
- Based on funding as of 12/31/23
- NOTE: "Current Funding" shown in the graphs is limited to funding programed to address State of Good Repair. Projected performance is expected to be greater due to asset improvements funded through CTDOT's Capital Program which are not captured. The Department will soon be able to capture this funding through a project asset data system in development.
