RESTRIPING, REFLECTORS, AND RUMBLE STRIPS GOAL
Restriping (repainting) lines in the roadways, adding reflectors, and adding rumble strips will help increase driver visibility and awareness of where they are within a travel lane and potentially prevent drive-offs and collisions with others.
WHAT IS IT?
Restriping (repainting) road markings, adding road surface reflectors, and adding rumble strips are all effective measures for drivers that can increase awareness of their location in the travel lane. Road markings are a continuous source of information for drivers. Without proper designation, crashes can occur because of a lack of visibility or knowledge of the edge of a road causing a drive-off or collisions with other cars from driving over the center line or when a T-intersection or cross road is not properly signified based on road markings. This is especially dangerous in the evening hours where sunlight is limited or nonexistent and on country roads or even highways.
