Install profiled thermoplastic pavement markings
Description: Profiled thermoplastic pavement markings consist of thermoplastic material with raised thermoplastic bumps creating a raised profile marking. These markings are designed to provide an improved level of vision to drivers, particularly during wet-road surface conditions. The profiled nature also provides a rumble effect for errant vehicles.
Prior Condition: flat-line thermoplastic or other standard markings
