New options possible for late season pavement markings
Late season work provides challenges for installing pavement markings. Mn/DOT’s Office of Traffic, Safety, and Operations (OTSO) and the Chemical Laboratory are working with manufacturers of pavement-marking material to find and develop improved materials that will provide appropriate performance when installed in late season/cold weather conditions. This effort is expected to result in additional products on Mn/DOT’s Qualified Products List for late season/cold weather pavement markings. The list is online at www.dot.state.mn.us/trafficeng/qpl/PavementMarkings.pdf.
