Road Striping Operations to Begin in May
Road striping operations will begin throughout the City in May and continue throughout the summer. Drivers will see a slow-moving caravan of equipment refreshing the lines on Mequon roadways. Mequon Department of Public Works (DPW) is urging motorists to use caution when encountering work crews.
Crisp, easy-to-see striping is a significant safety feature on Mequon roadways. The City’s DPW work crews use paint embedded with glass beads. The beads reflect headlight beams back in the direction of the motorist to make the stripes more visible, especially at night, on wet roads, or in low light conditions.
Striping crews must travel slowly as they paint roadway markings to ensure a good quality line. The striping train moves between 8 and 12 mph when workers are painting white and yellow lines on the roadways. The trucks have flashing lights and signs that say, “SLOW VEHICLES” and “WET PAINT.” While the paint is still wet, there will be traffic cones placed on the wet lines.
