The City and County will deny all reimbursement claims if a driver crosses wet paint. The paint is water based, which is better for the environ- ment, and as the paint is applied thousands of little glass beads are deposited upon the wet paint. The glass beads reflect lots of light even at night. When vehicle headlights hit the paint, tiny spheres in the glass beads reflect the light, making the stripes brighter for drivers in dark or rainy condi- tions.

Under a cooperative contract with the City of Florence, Lane County crews will be striping city streets on Tuesday, Sept. 20, weather permitting. The City of Florence main- tains 87.98 lane miles of road- way, with approximately 37.97 of those center lane miles. Please remember to give striping crews plenty of room and watch for the “wet paint” signs on Florence streets. Although crews use fast- drying, water-based paint, driving over fresh stripes or changing lanes when following a striping crew can remove the reflectivity of the stripe, reduce safety, increase maintenance costs and spray paint onto your vehicle.
