That's not the only story either.

I've seen how they pain the lines. It can happen as they move along.
Often they are painted at night too where visibility would be less.

Sort of funny, but not major newsworthy.


Delaware had a crew from PA painting lines here in DE several years ago
and they were extremely sloppy not putting up cones or warning. My wife
ran over freshly painted lines with her new car and got so much paint on
it that it had $600 in painting repairs.


I can live with the lines but in the city they tend to spread reflective
powder on the wet paint. That's not a bad thing either but they use a
lot of it and don't sweep it up. The powder is composed of glass
microbeads and on a bike you might as well be trying to ride on
ballbearings.


I thought the beads were mixed with the paint when sprayed.
