Some crossbuck signs have a white retroreflective strip on the sign support, and some don . Shouldn all crossbuck signs have this strip, to help make the crossings more conspicuous?
Yes, and eventually they all will have the strips. The requirement for these strips on both the front and back of crossbuck sign supports was added with the 2000 edition of the MUTCD. At the same time, a requirement was added to place a white retroreflective strip on the back of each blade of the crossbuck sign itself. For details, see Section 8B.03 of the 2003 edition of the MUTCD. The FHWA is allowing a 10-year compliance period (until January 17, 2011) for the installation of these retroreflective white strips to be added to the crossbucks and supports..
