Marking Paint is a Must Have for Road Repair Season

Because Winter storms and freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on the roadways, Spring road repair is essential to fix potholes and other structural issues that weather and road salting can cause. But winter weather can take a toll on road markings as well. Faded road markings can be dangerous as these markings relay crucial information to drivers, pedestrians, construction crews and others who utilize outdoor spaces. For optimum safety, surface markings should be reapplied on a regular basis to retain their visibility and optimize safety.

Marking paint comes in a variety of colors which correlate to their use. Blue paint designates handicapped spaces, red paint delineates fire lanes, and, of course, yellow and white are used to designate traffic lanes on roadways. Other colors can be used for a wide variety of recreational purposes. It is important to use a quality high-pigment color for optimum visibility and the paint must be resistant to moisture and fading from the sun. 

Hand-held applicator wands or paint marking measuring wheels can make paint application more accurate as well as quick and easy.
