Regular Maintenance is Important to Maintaining Road Safety

February 11, 2013

Road and ground markings relay crucial information to drivers, pedestrians, and others who utilize outdoor spaces. But because elements such as sun, rain, and wind (in addition to the applicaiton of salt and brine on winter roads) can cause fading, surface markings should be redone on a regular basis so they remain highly visible for optimum safety and usage.
 
For traffic striping paint, use a quality formula with high pigment so that it is not affected by water. Yellow and white are used to designate traffic lanes on roads and delineate spaces in a parking lot.  Blue paint is used to designate handicapped spaces and red indicates fire lanes. Many colors are also available for various marking purposes on playing fields and a host of other outdoor areas.

Hand held applicator wands are great for small jobs, making application clean an easy. A Komelon measure wheel and paint marking combo serves a dual purpose in paint marking as well as measuring. The wheels are user-friendly, durable and can greatly enhance the speed of any paint marking job.
