Hon dollars eadi year on center-lining ana if velnides drive over the newly i laid paint before it dries, state money ia wasted and the appearance, life and usefulness of the center-line are destroyed." State Highway Commission center-1 Work on the new center-lining pro- i .. i a a ' J i A .-. V - lining crews are neaiing the half-way , point N in' laying the new two-color , white and yellow center-hnes on ma Jor highways in 'North Carolina, ; Chairman Henry W. Jordan has an I nounced. : For the first time the de ' partment is using reflectorjzed or "night-shining" materials exclusive ly in its centeivlining operations. The new system of marking, adopt ed by the Commission last October, uses dashed r white lines to denote ' limits Of a travel lane and yellow "barrier", lines to warn motorists that ' passing is" unwise. The presence of a yellow line on the driver's side in dicates that sight distance is less than 600 feet - , "The J new yellow line restriction . when complied with provides for safe . passing at a - peed of . 37 miles per . hour with a 10-mile differential in the . 1 peed of the overtaking or passing vehicle," the Commission's Traffic ' Engineer, Robert A. Burch, said. He warned, however, that the absence of a yellow line does not mean that a passing maneuver is recommended at all times. Keasonable precautions "-must still be taken to determine dis- tance of oncoming vehicles," he said. -The new center-line markings will ' appear on all major highways carry ing 800 or more vehicles per day. The Commission formerly .used the , yellow line technique only on three ' and four-lane highways. ' The newly-adopted design is a ' standard recommended by the Nation '.. al Manual of Uniform Traffic Con trol Devices and is used by the ma ' joiity of state highway departments. Burch also appealed to the motor ing public for cooperation in keep " ing off the newly jpainted lines until they are dry. "Because we are now using paint materials with high vis- ' cosity, the drying time has been in creased from 10 to 30 minutes," he ject will be completed in he fall Tar IIee.3 Tryi:i N ew Turkey Breed A new turkey breed the Jersey Buff has made Its appearance in North Carolina, according to L.
