Pennsylvania Sees Large Scale Traffic Line Painting Upgrade
In Pennsylvania the last of eleven new traffic line painting machines has been delivered and assigned to the tech engineer WWIC district. The trucks, each with an air compressor and paint application gear, can lay solid or broken lines and carry two 200-gallon tanks. One unit painted 487 miles at an average cost of 825 dollars per mile in one district. Crews are being trained. the department aims to paint about 12 000 miles this season by July 1, improving efficiency without laying off workers. Old hand and small motor units remain for non economic sites. the new machines are expected to average 40 miles per day, reducing motorist inconvenience and increasing total mileage for safety. A warning sign accompanies the machine and a motor officer ensures drying time.
