Drivers heading to Regina from the north on Highway 11 may have noticed some unusual pavement markings as the Ministry of Highways begins testing paint products.
Samples of several products have been applied to the highway to test which last the longest, and best hold to the road surface. After six months each product will be evaluated, with the best ones being used for the next four years.
Fun fact: Each kilometre of solid line requires 31 litres of paint.
46,500 kilometres of centre and shoulder line painting are planned for the 2021-22 construction season.
There are 36,000 pavement signs being painted as well.
