Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Plans Highway Safety Features

According to The Gilmour Mirror, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plans to implement a series of highway safety features to keep its drivers safe during their highway commutes. In a plan approved this past March, "Safety features in the form of texturized centerlines and shoulders will be added to several Upshur County highways this year"

“We are looking at installing texturized strips to centerline areas of these highways to help prevent crossover crashes and along the shoulders to prevent run-off-the-road crashes,” said Rebecca Wells, interim district traffic engineer for TxDOT in Atlanta.

“The texturized strips are grooves milled into the pavement that make noise when vehicle tires run over them. Some strips will be milled into the pavement and other sections, with shallower paving, will have a thick raised thermoplastic paint process applied to the pavement markings which also creates better visibility during rainy weather. It alerts drivers that they are getting out of their traffic lane.”

This was a news article that talked about Thermoplastic Paint and thought I would share.
