Road Marking Maintenance
Pavement markings provide essential guidance for drivers and maintaining visible pavement markings is one of the most cost effective ways to improve road safety.
This is especially critical in areas with vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Clearly defined markings like crosswalks and bike lanes help create safer and more predictable streets. However, many pavement markings in this region are in poor condition, leading to faded markings that reduce visibility and increase risk.
According to the USDOT, high-visibility crosswalks can reduce pedestrian injury crashes by up to 40% However, those high-visibility crosswalks are only effective if they’re actually visible to drivers.
We support using more durable pavement marking materials that are known to last longer and implementing a more robust maintenance schedule to ensure these critical markings remain visible and effective.
