Pavement markings in urban areas set to begin

Line painting and pavement marking in urban areas is scheduled to begin Sunday, June 28 during the evening and overnight hours.

This work is to include painting of stop blocks, lane arrows, parking spaces and other markings. No line painting will occur on Wed., July 1.

Painting of yellow and white centrelines throughout the County is scheduled to begin on Sunday, July 19.

Minor traffic disruptions that are short in duration may occur. Minimal noise is expected to occur during painting operations. Orange flashing lights on the work vehicles will be present.

Wet traffic paint on the road may splatter on your vehicle if crossed before the paint has dried; therefore, drivers are reminded to obey all closure signs, pylons, and warning trucks. Drivers are reminded not to cross the centreline when encountering a line painting crew on the road.

It takes approximately two minutes for line painting to dry.

If you encounter a line painting operation or painting crew on the road, the municipality advises to:
Slow down and stay well behind the truck
Obey the warning signs on the truck
Wait for the truck to pull over before passing, unless otherwise directed
Take care to avoid areas delineated with pylons or barrels
Be patient
