ILLUSTRATIVE PICTURE REPORTPavementExample report · Toggle details

Localized surface loss near the outside wheel path.

Location context
Illustrative I-95 route record
Detailed observation
The sample image suggests a connected pattern of cracking within the travel surface, with some broken edges and loose aggregate. The visible pattern can identify an area for review but does not show crack width, depth, movement, subsurface condition or the full affected area. A single image cannot establish the maintenance rating for an entire segment.
What the assessor should look for
  • Confirm route, lane, station and continuous limits on site.
  • Measure crack widths, surface movement and affected area; inspect nearby patches and drainage.
  • Compare measured conditions with the controlling maintenance criteria and contract.
Recommendation
Mark and photograph the affected limits under the required traffic control. Have the pavement team determine whether sealing, localized patching or a more extensive repair fits the verified condition. Address drainage or failed material where field evidence supports it. Record the chosen treatment, quantities and responsible reviewer before scheduling work.
Closeout
Photograph the repaired surface from matching viewpoints, record dimensions and materials, and have the responsible team verify the finished ride and surface continuity.

Roadway surface / potholesIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The sample image suggests a connected pattern of cracking within the travel surface, with some broken edges and loose aggregate. The visible pattern can identify an area for review but does not show crack width, depth, movement, subsurface condition or the full affected area. A single image cannot establish the maintenance rating for an entire segment.

What the inspector should look for

  • Confirm route, lane, station and continuous limits on site.
  • Measure crack widths, surface movement and affected area; inspect nearby patches and drainage.
  • Compare measured conditions with the controlling maintenance criteria and contract.

Recommendation and work plan

Mark and photograph the affected limits under the required traffic control. Have the pavement team determine whether sealing, localized patching or a more extensive repair fits the verified condition. Address drainage or failed material where field evidence supports it. Record the chosen treatment, quantities and responsible reviewer before scheduling work.

Closeout documentation

Photograph the repaired surface from matching viewpoints, record dimensions and materials, and have the responsible team verify the finished ride and surface continuity.

Applicable requirement: Field review required to confirm pavement condition and repair needs. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Paved shoulders / turnoutsRaveling edges and deteriorated shoulder pavement.Read picture report
Paved shoulders / turnoutsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The example shows an uneven shoulder edge and apparent loss of surfacing. The image establishes a visible condition for follow-up but not its depth, continuous length, load-bearing capacity or relationship to the adjacent travel lane.

What the inspector should look for

  • Measure the edge profile, width and continuous affected length.
  • Check lane and shoulder transition, drainage and any exposed base.
  • Confirm whether the location is a paved shoulder or turnout under the applicable criteria.

Recommendation and work plan

Set safe work limits, remove unstable material where needed and restore the shoulder surface to the field-approved profile. Investigate water flow or edge support if the damage appears recurring. Select materials and treatment from the applicable project or maintenance requirements, then record the repair limits and any traffic-control needs.

Closeout documentation

Verify the finished transition and drainage in the field; photograph the full repair and document measurements and completion date.

Applicable requirement: Flexible or rigid shoulder/turnout criteria. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Unpaved shouldersDrop-offs, erosion and washed-out shoulder material.Read picture report
Unpaved shouldersIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The illustration suggests erosion and a low or irregular unpaved shoulder beside the pavement. Perspective alone cannot establish the drop-off height, slope, crossfall, material depth or distance along the road.

What the inspector should look for

  • Measure the pavement-to-shoulder profile at representative points.
  • Locate washout limits and check runoff paths and culvert or inlet influences.
  • Confirm the applicable state and contract criterion for this shoulder type.

Recommendation and work plan

Protect the work area, shape the shoulder to the approved profile and replace unsuitable material where necessary. Compact and stabilize the repaired section using the controlling specification. Correct a verified drainage source so the same washout does not recur, and document the limits and materials used.

Closeout documentation

Recheck the profile and drainage, then record before-and-after photos and the field measurements.

Applicable requirement: Unpaved Shoulder. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Pavement markings / stripingWorn, missing or inconsistent lane-line coverage.Read picture report
Pavement markings / stripingIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

Part of a lane line appears worn or interrupted in the demonstration image. Lighting, camera exposure and the viewing angle affect appearance, so the image does not establish measured retroreflectivity, nighttime function or the total missing length.

What the inspector should look for

  • Identify the intended marking plan and affected lane limits.
  • Measure worn and missing lengths and check continuity from the driver approach.
  • Perform nighttime or instrument checks if the governing criteria require them.

Recommendation and work plan

Verify the approved layout and remove conflicting remnants if required. Restore the correct color, width, pattern and material under the applicable traffic-control and material specifications. Sequence the work to keep the lane safely controlled, and avoid changing the layout based on the image alone.

Closeout documentation

Capture daytime and appropriate nighttime views, check the installed pattern and record quantities and material information.

Applicable requirement: Striping; confirm nighttime function. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Pavement symbolsFaded arrows or missing portions of a symbol.Read picture report
Pavement symbolsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

A pavement symbol appears partly faded in the example. The visible gap may reduce legibility, but a still image cannot establish the approved lane-use designation, required dimensions or nighttime performance.

What the inspector should look for

  • Compare the symbol with the approved striping plan and adjacent signs.
  • Measure its visible area and confirm whether the issue is wear, obstruction or an incomplete layout.
  • Check driver-approach visibility under relevant lighting conditions.

Recommendation and work plan

Confirm the intended movement before repainting. Prepare the surface, remove incompatible old markings if needed and restore the approved shape and orientation with the specified material. Coordinate any lane closure and keep a record of the approved layout used for the repair.

Closeout documentation

Photograph the complete symbol from the approach, document measurements and verify that it agrees with the current plan.

Applicable requirement: Pavement Symbols. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

RPMs (raised pavement markers)Apparent marker gaps and exposed adhesive pads.Read picture report
RPMs (raised pavement markers)Illustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

A sequence of raised pavement markers appears interrupted, with possible adhesive remnants in the illustrative view. The picture cannot establish the required layout, total missing count, spacing or nighttime visibility.

What the inspector should look for

  • Count the markers across the affected run and measure spacing.
  • Check the current plans for color, position and any deliberate gaps.
  • Inspect remaining markers for secure attachment and field visibility.

Recommendation and work plan

Confirm the layout and replace missing or failed markers with the approved type and adhesive. Remove failed remnants as required, prepare the surface and align the replacements with the existing pattern. Prioritize the work based on the verified location and traffic function.

Closeout documentation

Record the installed count and locations, then photograph the completed run and verify alignment and nighttime response if applicable.

Applicable requirement: Raised Pavement Markers; night check as needed. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Fence / gates illustrative reference photo 1Fence / gates illustrative reference photo 2Fence / gatesBent or damaged fence posts and gaps between gates.Read picture report
Fence / gatesIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The example depicts bent fence posts and a possible gap at a gate. The view identifies an apparent opening but cannot establish its measured width, whether the gate latches or the full extent of damaged fabric and posts.

What the inspector should look for

  • Count consecutive damaged or missing posts and trace the fence line.
  • Measure the gate gap and test alignment, latch and closure on site.
  • Check the property boundary, access purpose and applicable contract criteria.

Recommendation and work plan

Secure an opening that presents a verified access concern while the repair is planned. Replace or straighten damaged components as appropriate, restore tension and attachment of fabric, and adjust the gate so it closes and latches under normal operation. Use the approved fence and gate details for materials and dimensions.

Closeout documentation

Test the gate, document the repaired posts and continuous fence line, and record measured clearances and materials.

Applicable requirement: Fence; also checks torn fabric and missing posts. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Signs / sign supports illustrative reference photoSigns / sign supportsNighttime reflectivity issues, damaged signs and exposed support bases.Read picture report
Signs / sign supportsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The illustrative sign may show face damage, obstruction or a visible support-base concern. A daylight picture alone cannot prove retroreflectivity, sign-legibility distance, mounting height or the structural condition of the support.

What the inspector should look for

  • Identify the sign designation, route approach and approved sign schedule.
  • Inspect face, hardware, post, base and surrounding sight line from safe positions.
  • Verify nighttime performance and required dimensions through the proper field method.

Recommendation and work plan

Prioritize a verified missing or unreadable traffic-control message with the responsible road authority. Replace or repair the face, hardware or support using approved details, and clear an obstruction if that is the cause. Coordinate traffic control and avoid assigning a reflectivity failure from daylight imagery alone.

Closeout documentation

Photograph the sign from the driver approach and close-up, document the installed designation and complete required nighttime or measurement checks.

Applicable requirement: Signs; apparent reflectivity needs nighttime verification. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Drainage / ditches / inletsLeaves, vegetation and sediment covering an inlet.Read picture report
Drainage / ditches / inletsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

Vegetation and sediment appear to cover part of an inlet opening. The image shows the surface obstruction only; it does not reveal pipe condition, hydraulic capacity, buried blockage or the level of flooding during a storm.

What the inspector should look for

  • Identify the inlet, flow direction and contributing area.
  • Measure or document how much of the opening is obstructed and inspect grate condition.
  • Check downstream access, standing water and sediment after safe field access.

Recommendation and work plan

Remove vegetation and debris from the grate and throat, dispose of material appropriately and restore the visible flow path. If flow remains restricted, arrange qualified inspection of connected drainage elements. Repair damaged grate or inlet components using the agency-approved detail, and address recurring sediment sources where confirmed.

Closeout documentation

Photograph the open inlet and downstream flow path, document removed material and any follow-up pipe or structure work.

Applicable requirement: Inlets or the actual drainage-asset characteristic. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Landscaping / turfLikely live oak (1), cabbage palms (2) and ixora shrubs in the example imagery.Read picture report
Landscaping / turfIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The illustrative planting image supports a tentative count and plant-type estimate, not a botanical or health diagnosis. Some plants may be partly hidden and camera perspective can distort size and condition.

What the inspector should look for

  • Confirm species and counts by bed or location.
  • Check dead growth, irrigation, soil, pest symptoms and maintenance records on site.
  • Compare the installed landscape plan and applicable maintenance requirements.

Recommendation and work plan

Create a location-based inventory with identification confidence. Separate routine trimming or irrigation adjustments from replacements that require approval. Have a qualified landscape reviewer confirm the cause of observed decline before specifying treatment, then set quantities and work limits for the maintenance crew.

Closeout documentation

Update the inventory after work, photograph each treated bed and record replacements, irrigation changes and follow-up dates.

Applicable requirement: Landscaping / Turf; species confidence needs review. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Tree trimming / vegetation illustrative reference photoTree trimming / vegetationTrees or limbs obscuring signs or encroaching on the roadway.Read picture report
Tree trimming / vegetationIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

A tree limb appears to extend toward a sign or roadside asset in the illustration. The image cannot establish measured clearance, tree condition, right-of-way limits or safe pruning method.

What the inspector should look for

  • Measure vertical and lateral clearances from the affected asset or travel path.
  • Inspect the limb, tree condition and approach sight line on site.
  • Confirm ownership, permits, utility proximity and applicable vegetation criteria.

Recommendation and work plan

Arrange qualified pruning within the verified work limits, protecting traffic and nearby utilities as required. Remove only the growth needed to restore the approved visibility or clearance while preserving tree health. Escalate instability or utility conflicts to the appropriate specialist rather than inferring them from a photo.

Closeout documentation

Photograph the cleared approach, record measured clearance and pruning limits, and schedule follow-up where regrowth is likely.

Applicable requirement: Tree Trimming. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

All supported assetsSupported asset types reviewed together in one assessment.Read picture report
All supported assetsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

A single drive or photo set may contain several supported roadway assets. Their conditions and locations must be separated; one wide view cannot establish complete coverage or an official score for every asset.

What the inspector should look for

  • Classify each visible finding by supported asset and evidence frame.
  • Verify exact location, duplicate sightings and missing close-up views.
  • Apply the correct governing criterion separately to each asset.

Recommendation and work plan

Review the classification with a field assessor, remove duplicates and assign each supported condition to a distinct category report. Request closer evidence for ambiguous items. Route verified findings to the responsible crew with a location, recommended action and missing checks clearly identified.

Closeout documentation

Save category reports and source images together, record reviewer changes and track completion for each distinct finding.

Applicable requirement: Apply the relevant rule to each finding. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Interchanges / rampsWorn markings and other visible ramp-asset issues.Read picture report
Interchanges / rampsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The ramp example may include marking wear and other visible roadside conditions within the interchange. The location is a setting rather than a single maintenance characteristic; a ramp-wide score cannot be derived from one view.

What the inspector should look for

  • Identify ramp name, direction, station and each underlying asset.
  • Capture separate approach and close-up evidence for each issue.
  • Check the applicable asset-specific standard and traffic-control plan.

Recommendation and work plan

Split the observations into pavement, marking, sign, drainage or other supported categories. Verify limits and prioritize work based on the function and measured condition of each item. Coordinate repairs where they share a closure, but keep evidence and closeout distinct.

Closeout documentation

Reinspect the affected ramp assets from comparable approach views and record each completed action separately.

Applicable requirement: Underlying asset criteria; no separate ramp score. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Object markers / delineators illustrative reference photoObject markers / delineatorsSuspected three consecutive missing delineators or large gaps.Read picture report
Object markers / delineatorsIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The illustrative express-lane view suggests a gap in delineators. It cannot prove that three consecutive devices are missing without confirming the intended plan, camera coverage and the continuous run.

What the inspector should look for

  • Count installed and missing devices in sequence from a safe field position.
  • Compare spacing, color and placement with the approved layout.
  • Check damage, visibility and whether a gap is intentional at an access point.

Recommendation and work plan

After verifying the design, replace missing or displaced devices with the specified type and spacing. Correct damaged mounts or misalignment and coordinate work-zone access around the express lane. Record the start and end of the affected run and the replacement count.

Closeout documentation

Photograph the full restored sequence from the approach and document spacing and material used.

Applicable requirement: Gap alert: verify layout and applicable contract rules. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Roadway lightingApparent outages and visible missing hardware.Read picture report
Roadway lightingIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

The image can show a missing cover, damaged pole or apparent fixture issue; daytime photographs cannot establish whether a luminaire operates at night. Electrical circuit condition is not visible.

What the inspector should look for

  • Record pole or fixture identification and location.
  • Verify operation after dark and inspect visible covers, fasteners and pole condition.
  • Refer electrical access, isolation and testing to qualified personnel.

Recommendation and work plan

Create a work order for confirmed outage or missing hardware, including fixture ID and evidence. Have an authorized electrical crew test and repair the correct component under approved safety procedures. Replace covers or hardware with compatible parts and check adjacent units if the fault appears shared.

Closeout documentation

Document the repair, tested operation and nighttime result with photos and service records.

Applicable requirement: Lighting; day checks cover poles, covers and hardware. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

Field notesSupporting observations for the selected supported asset type.Read picture report
Field notesIllustrative item image · Preliminary example

Detailed observation

This illustration represents a supporting observation that needs an assigned asset and context before it becomes a maintenance finding. A note alone does not establish a defect, its limits or the governing rule.

What the inspector should look for

  • Identify the supported asset, exact location and observed condition.
  • Attach both a context view and a close-up where available.
  • Decide whether the note belongs in a defined category or needs more field evidence.

Recommendation and work plan

Keep the note linked to its original image and assessor. If field verification supports a deficiency, create a distinct finding with the appropriate asset category, action and source reference. Leave unresolved observations marked for review instead of assigning a pass or fail.

Closeout documentation

Record the review decision, who verified it and the evidence used to close or reclassify the note.

Applicable requirement: Maintenance observation unless an applicable rule exists. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.

All images and findings are illustrative. They show report structure and inspection topics, not actual field evidence or a compliance decision.
