CONTACT Campbell McKinley RR I, ZURICH Phone 262-5430 Announce changes in marking of highways Honourable Charles Mac Naugh, ton, minister of transportation and communications, has announ- ced a change in the department's policy regarding pavement lane markings which will go into effect next year to conform with standards being adopted by most provinces and states in North America. On two-lane highways, the centre line will be yellow and pavement edge lines will be white. On multi -lane undivided high- ways the centre line will be yellow and lane markings and pavement edge lines will be white. On freeways and other divided highways both lane markings and pavement edge lines will be white. Basically, yellow lines will separate traffic flows in opposite directions: white lines separate traffic moving in the same dir- ection; solid yellow lines indic- ate passing is not allowed and solid white lines indicate that lane -changing is not allowed. On the 13, 000 -mile King;s and Secondary Highway system in the province it will take app- roximately one year to complete the change -over. Painting pavement markings on the provincial highway syst- em costs approximately $1.5 million per year and requires more than 200, 000 gallons of paint plus 1, 300, 000 pounds of minute glass beads to provide reflectorization. Under the new system of pave- ment markings no additional costs are anticipated.
