Description

A proposal by Environment Canada to mandate a maximum Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content for traffic markings prompted Alberta Transportation to investigate new paint formulations. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the effectiveness of six low-temperature, low-VOC traffic paint formulations during cold weather application.

Description

Traffic markings used in Alberta consist primarily of alkyd and waterborne paint. Supplemental delineation such as Snowplowable Raised Pavement Markers (SRPM) may improve driver preview distances at night and in adverse weather conditions in high collision rate areas. A study of SRPM’s was undertaken to determine the effectiveness and durability of two types of markers.
