high-pressure hose and using

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.

for paint on vehicles.
If the weather turns out to be
too wet or cold on the sched-
uled date, the city will resched-

Watch for “wet paint” warn-
ing signs and warning trucks.
Don’t change lanes behind a
striping truck.
The paint used for striping is
engineered to last, so it may be
very difficult to remove from
your vehicle if you drive on it
while it is wet. Once crews
spray the paint on the roadway,
it can take as little as thirty sec-
onds or as long as five minutes
to dry.
If you do happen to drive
over wet paint, it should be
removed within the hour by a

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. The City of Florence
