roadway is opened to traffic. No passing zones shall be marked to conform to Section 150.04 E. During
construction and maintenance activities on all highways open to traffic, both existing markings and
markings applied under this Section shall be fully maintained until Final Acceptance. If the pavement
markings are, or become, unsatisfactory in the judgement of the Engineer due to wear, weathering,
or construction activities, they shall be restored immediately. On resurfacing projects pavement
markings shall be provided on all surfaces that are placed over existing markings. On widening and
reconstruction projects (where the lane configuration is altered from the pre-construction layout)
pavement markings will be as required by the Plans or the Engineer. On new construction projects
pavement marking plans will be provided.
B. MATERIALS: All traffic striping applied under this Section shall be a minimum four inches in width
and shall conform to the requirements of Section 652, except as modified herein. Raised pavement
markers (RPMs) shall meet the requirements of Section 654. Markings on the final surface course
which must be removed shall be a removable type. The Contractor will be permitted to use paint,
thermoplastic, or tape on pavement which is to be overlaid as part of the project, unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer. Partial (skip) reflectorization (i.e. reflectorizing only a portion of a stripe)
will not be allowed.
C. USAGE: The Contractor shall sequence the work in such a manner as to allow the installation of
markings in the final lane configuration at the earliest possible stage.
Inappropriate or conflicting existing pavement markings shall be removed.
When shifting of traffic necessitates removal of centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall
be removed prior to, during, or immediately after any change so as to present the least interference
with traffic.
Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the
project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be
repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if necessary), so' that the removal can be
accomplished without delay.
E:xx:ept for the final surface, markings on asphaltic concrete may be obliterated by an overlay course,
when approved by the Engineer. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is placed for the sole purpose
of eliminating conflicting markings and the in place asphaltic concrete section will allow, said overlay
will be eligible for payment only if designated in the Plans. Overlays to obliterate'lines will be paid
for only once and further traffic shifts in the same area shall be accomplished with removable
markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover lines (generally 60 lbJsq.
yd. of Asphaltic Concrete "If') will be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an
overlay for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no longer
applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.02. The elimination of conflicting
pavement markings by overpainting with paint or liqu.:d asphalt is not acceptable.
D. Raised pavement markers CRPMs) are required as listed below for all asphaltic concrete pavements
before the roadway is open to traffic. When Portland Cement Concrete is an intermediate or final
surface and is open to traffic, one calendar day is allowed fOT cleaning and drying before the
installation of RPMs is required.
