I’m seeing a kind of yellow fade technique happening on our roads. I see eager souls standing beside what used to be a yellow pedestrian crossing. The problem is I don’t see it until I’m too close to stop.
I don’t mind honoring a few faded crossings on my normal route, but I can’t remember all of them. I’m sorry, if I can’t see them; they don’t exist.
Crazy, I’m working on a project that examines the market retroreflective glass beads in road markings. Did you know that restriping has to be done annually in order to keep traffic accidents down? Sri Lanka has the 15th highest level of fatalities per 10,000 vehicles in the world. Beat that with a stick.
