17,500 Miles of State’s I
Highways Centerlined
During Last Year
y&Ji
The State Highway Commission last
year painted 17;500 miles of highway
centerlines, including the yellow bar
rier lines at potential danger points,
it is reported Iby Traffic Engineer
Robert A. Burch.
A total of 12,448 miles of white |
centerlines and 5,052 miles of yellow (
barrier lines, which serve as warning
to motorists, were laid down in 1052.
Burlh emphasized that the mileage
painted in the year does not mean
. that is the total miles of painted
lines in existence on (North Carolina
highways. Many miles of roads paint
ed in 1951 did not need repainting last
year due to use of a superior paint
in 1951. (Roads not repainted in 1952
will require new centerlining this
year, Burcih explained.
He added: “The painting operation,
as a result of the demands of the
public, has increased each year and
it appears will continue to increase
until such time that .a usable and satis
factory line is in existence on all ma
'jor roads.”
In 1960, his division painted 10,934
miles of centerlines, and it painted
16,079 miles in 1951.
Last year’s record-breaking opera
tions required use of 162,853 galldns
•of paint, of whch 84,'C10 gallons went
into white lines and 78,343 gallons
into the yellow lines. Rate of paint
application on the white lines aver
aged 6.8 gallons per mile..
All of the paint was manufactured
at Central Prison, and all of it was
pre-mixed with refiectorized beads
which give the centerlines greater
visibility at night. Use of high-ca
pacity painting machines enabled some
of the work crews to paint in excess
of 50 miles of centerline in a single
day.
