Section 20: Temporary or Permanent Pavement Markings
General
When the seal coat is applied, the center stripe and lane
markings are obliterated. For the safety of motorists, markings
must be replaced as quickly as possible.
Temporary Markings
Temporary tabs should be placed before the seal coat operation
begins and the covers removed from the tabs as soon as possible
after the rollers have finished or no later than the end of the
day. When the adjacent lane is to be sealed on a different day,
use tabs with double covers to prevent the need to apply a second
set of tabs.
Permanent Markings
The roadway must have permanent markings applied within the
time frame specified on the plans. Temporary markings must be removed
after placement of permanent markings.
