Specifications include, but are not limited to: The work shall consist of painting centerline, edge line and all other miscellaneous lines on the roadway at the locations detailed in the plans and these Special Provisions. These specifications cover the application of traffic paint and Type I beads on bituminous or Portland cement concrete pavements. MEDIAN STRIPING Median striping shall be conducted according to the median striping plans attached to these specifications. CONSTRUCTION METHOD Pavement Surface Preparation: The roadway to be striped shall be cleaned of foreign matter that would prevent the paint from adhering to the roadway by County forces. The paint shall be applied to a dry pavement surface. TRAFFIC CONTROL The Contractor will provide a vehicle to follow the striper with a “Wet Paint” sign alerting traffic to the striping work. Traffic cones may be necessary in some cases to prevent tracking of the paint and will be provided by the County. Traffic will be maintained through the work area at all times. Traffic shall be controlled through the work area until the pavement markings have dried sufficiently to prevent tracking. Equipment not actively involved in applying pavement markings shall not be parked or stand within 20 feet of the edge of the roadway during day and 30 feet at night. This includes any preparation of equipment, filling reservoirs, mixing paint or cleaning of equipment.
