In order to make signs more conspicuous during times of low visibility, engineers use reflective sheeting to increase the sign's retroreflectivity. Retroreflectivity is a term used to define the amount of light being reflected back to the viewer's eyes—making a sign visible. At night, highly retroreflective (reflective) sheeting helps make traffic signs not only more conspicuous, but also quicker to understand. This keeps driver's eyes on the roads instead of straining to read a sign.
As such, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires you to install traffic signs that use varying grades of reflective sheeting for all signs displayed on roads open to public use on your property. All traffic signs need to fulfill certain size, reflectivity, mounting height, and design requirements specified by the FHWA for safety.
