ROAD MARKING: GROOVED THERMOPLASTIC STRIPE APPLIED TO ROAD, REFLECTIVE MATERIAL APPLIED TO STRIPE AFTER APPLICATION

摘要

A method and apparatus for applying a traffic stripe (10) having improved reflectivity includes a vehicle having an apparatus (50) for applying the traffic stripe, an applying assembly (52) for dispensing a reflective material over the traffic stripe, another applying apparatus (66) for applying an anti-adhesion agent, and a deformation apparatus (64) disposed rearward thereof for forming interval grooves in the traffic stripe. The application of the anti-adhesion agent directly onto the traffic stripe or onto the deformation apparatus prevents the freshly applied traffics tripe from lifting off the road surface and adhering to the deformation apparatus.
