Wyoming Centerlines and Reflectorized Beads Report
A Wyoming Highway Department report by Traffic Engineer Robert C. O Connell cites 3972 miles of centerline striping in 1955 with miles treated by reflectorized beads doubling to 2120. It notes 30 000 gallons of stripe material and 60 000 pounds of beads used at a cost just over 25 dollars per mile, higher than 1954 yet still among the lowest in the nation. Two crews, plus college students, did most work. some areas required re striping. The department plans to boost reflectorized bead orders to 75 000 pounds to cover nearly all interstates and primary routes.
