Traffic stripes and pavement markings shall be applied only on dry surfaces and only during periods of favorable weather. Painting shall not be performed when the atmospheric temperature is below 50 degree F when using waterborne paint; when freshly painted surfaces may become damaged by rain, fog, or condensation; nor when it can be anticipated that the atmospheric temperature will drop below 50 degree F temperatures during the drying period.

On existing surfacing, pavement markings and traffic stripes shall be applied in one coat.

Each coat of paint for any traffic stripe, including glass beads where required, shall be applied in one pass of the striping machine, regardless of the number, widths and patterns of individual stripes involved.

Paint shall be applied in one coat shall be applied at an approximate rate of one gallon per 107 square feet.

Equipment used shall be capable of applying stripes for a minimum of one mile before resupplying paint into a paint reservoir.

The exact rate of paint to be applied shall be determined by the Contractor. The volume of paint applied shall be measured by stabbing the paint tank with a calibrated rod. At the option of the Contractor, if the striping machine is provided with paint gages, the volume of paint shall be determined by using the gages.

Unless otherwise directed by the CO, glass beads shall be uniformly incorporated in all coats of paint concurrently with the application of the paint, except that glass beads shall not be applied to black paint. Beads shall be embedded in the coat of traffic paint being applied to a depth of one-half their diameters.

Glass beads shall be applied at an approximate rate of 5 pounds per gallon of paint. The exact rate will be determined by the Engineer. The amount of glass beads applied shall be measured by stabbing the glass bead tank with a calibrated rod.
