Next can we get surveys going to fix the lines on the road that disappear when it rains at night?
We need the European line markers. They're super visible in all conditions!
Because Europe did not rely on road lighting.
This is the way.
Riad lighting is expensive (to install, maintain and operate), doesn't increase road safety (drivers tend to drive faster and lay less attention) and produces a ton of light pollution, splitting habitats and contributing to the insects decline.
They'll say we can't use them because of the snow plows, but they're in use all throughout Scandinavia.
It's a huge waste of electricity. Don't look for common sense in Ontario, we don't even have winter tire laws.
Ontario and some provinces have an oil based paint that stays on tyr road with its reflective properties. BC uses some environmentally friendly paint that is totally faded in no time.
I'm in Ontario. I remember reflective lines when I was a kid in the 90s but I haven't seen them with the reflective property in decades. When it rains, the lines are gone.
Maybe Ontario has switched too. I left near 2010
In ontario, the lines disappear when it's rainy as well. I do think oil based paints are any more reflective, they add that later
I meant the oil bases retains whatever reflective formula they have. Here in BC the lines are gone in a short period and non reflective pretty quickly. Considering we have rain and dark skies all winter you would think they'd fix it.
heh, well i can confirm they aren't reflective in ontario as well
Come to BC in the winter, it will make you think Ontario road markings are amazing. 😀
heh, with pleasure, BC is gorgeous; even barring the road markings
