Manitoba to introduce color coded road markings
The Manitoba Department of Public Works and Highways will repaint over 4000 miles of highways this spring with a new color coded system. Yellow centerlines will indicate two way traffic and white for four lane divided highways to improve visibility against snow and help drivers judge oncoming traffic. The change will be gradual through summer and motorists are advised to exercise caution until all roads are updated.
