Pavement Marking / OperationsThe largest section in the Traffic Engineering Division, contains the Sign Shop, Stencil, and Striping crews. The Pavement Marking Program final totals for the year 2001 have been calculated. The State Striping Crews painted all centerlines within their area of responsibility and all the required programmed 2001 - year edge lines. The total miles were 18,397. We applied 250,000 gallons of paint. The break down was 160,000 gallons of yellow and 90,000 gallons of white paint. The state also used 8,000,000 pounds of glass beads. The beads are added to the paint to ensure reflectivity at night and in inclement weather. The sign shop consists of a crew of six. They produce approximately 20,000 signs a year, that they distribute to many state agencies throughout Maine. Questions or Comments Call 207-624-3626 Mailing Address:
