So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Road Striping Instructions And Manual

By Chloe Gib


Road striping serves the purpose of identifying road usage purposes by the process of applying markings on it. The markings are used to convey individual information to the users of the highway. Some of the examples of these distinct markings can be present in parking areas, traffic lanes and areas where motorists are not required to park.

Traffic lines are employed on covered roads to give direction and data to both the drivers and pedestrians. Standardization of the stripes is essential in reducing the perplexity and ambiguity that may arise in translation. It is important to note that efforts subsist to homogenize such marks across the entire world. Different countries and states adopt their own traffic lines rules that auger properly with their own needs in relation to highway use.

Road striping can take many forms to fit an array of purposes. The forms can include among others mechanical, temporary and non mechanical markings. The purpose they serve can be that of designating traffic lanes, informing pedestrians and motorists and also to serve as an indicator for motorists on where to park and stop.

Efforts to improve marking services have been visible the world over. This is better explained with the adoption of new sustainable technology that ensures that the road marking exercise is cost effective, long lasting and offers easy identification especially for night street users. A case in point is the adoption of asphalt striping.

Asphalt striping is the major outcome from technological advancements in the area of surface markings. Asphalt has been adopted to pave major highways in the USA and its success story has spread the world over. Asphalt is cheap and durable compared to other methods of striping. It is made out of used tire and rubber and the extraction process is not expensive. It is both heat and pressure proof.

The preparations made before road striping are probably the most important steps in the entire process. This is because if a surface is not prepared properly the end result may not be desirable. The first step is usually marking the areas to be striped followed by marking the location of the traffic lines then lastly implementing the color scheme that will serve other special purposes like designating spaces for the paraplegic.

DIY kits are available to home owners who want to do their own road striping. Acquiring the services of a licensed contractor is usually the best way to go. This is because they have experience in the industry that may prove to be useful in achieving a desirable outcome.
