Highway Striping

There’s no denying the importance of highway striping and road striping. Not only are they as important as traffic signs as far as informing and instructing traffic, they often do so without saying a word. Highway striping tells us how many lanes there are, when we can and cannot pass, and where to go when exiting a highway. Sure, they touched upon their meaning in driver’s ed class, but the highway striping that directs traffic is basically intuitive and simple, and the guidance of those lines on the road is essential in maintaining a safe and directed flow of traffic. That is why their visibility is so important—especially in low light conditions.
