PENNDOT LINE PAINTING PROGRAM BEGINS
The District 10-0 paint crew will paint over 8,000 miles of lines this season throughout the five county region of Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Indiana and Jefferson Counties from late March through October.
State Roads with the highest traffic volumes and safety needs are painted first. These include interstates and the National Highway System followed by secondary roadways.
PennDOT establishes painting schedules to minimize delays to motorists. On days before holidays and on Fridays, crews will focus on secondary routes to minimize inconvenience for motorists.
PennDOT urges motorists to exercise caution and patience, and suggests that motorists follow at least 250 feet (13 car lengths) behind line painting equipment to avoid damage. Drivers should not try to pass the paint vehicles unless directed by a paint crew member or flag person to do so. Passing too quickly can cause damage to freshly painted lines and may result in paint on your vehicle. Motorists who accidentally get paint on their vehicles should immediately wash the paint off with a high-pressure water stream and detergent.
