curb markings; roadway lane markings, numbering and crosswalk markings; “No Parking”
and “Fire Lane” curb painting.
2. Sweep and clean surface to eliminate loose material and dust.
3. Use turbo dry traffic paint, factory mixed, quick drying and non-bleeding.
4. Apply paint with mechanical equipment to produce uniform straight edges. Apply at
