Surface preparation of pavements prior to application of pavement markings
Abstract
A brush assembly was designed, fabricated and installed on a Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation striping truck and run over a variety of roads. It was found that brushing did not significantly extend the service life of the traffic marking paint. There was not sufficient improvement to consider mounting brush assemblies ahead of the spray guns on striping trucks for use on a daily basis.
