Reply to comment by CT_Patriot in Traffic paint on major roads disappearing when it rains. by Gem_carver

Yeah problem with those is the plows will tear those up fairly regularly too with how often they maintain the roads in CT (meaning not often).

Even the recessed ones are not safe from our big orange boys.

Yep, seen a few times they rip a few up when the blade catches them and the blade does not spring back or if they still use the metal lip vs a hard plastic lip on the blade.

Most DOT are all metal tip bladed as sparks fly when hitting pavement not covered.

Still, love how well those reflective markers light up at night, both yellow and white just blaze up with headlights vs paint with glass beads unless it's fresh painted.
