Pavement-marking materials: New York's experience
Abstract
A wide range of stripping materials is available for pavement-marking programs. The four basic systems; traffic paint, thermoplastic, preformed tape, and field-reacted materials are described, as well as the various materials used in each system, including cost, durability, methods of installation and mantenance, visibility, and handling safety. New York State's pavement marking policies are described. Information on stripping costs, material usage, and results of durability studies is provided, based on New York's experience with most currently available marking materials.
