Utah transportation officials believe they've finally found a solution to one of the biggest headaches drivers complain about — lane striping.
Tiger tails are meant to keep the lanes easier to see in the rain and easier for autonomous vehicles to detect the lines. The HOV lanes are also about 25% wider, while epoxy paint is used on a freeway's yellow and white shoulder lanes.
Gov. Spencer Cox announces the next phase of the Utah Department of Transportation’s efforts to upgrade freeway lane striping along the Wasatch Front at the UDOT maintenance station in Salt Lake City on Monday. However, earlier this year, the Utah Legislature allocated $20 million in one-time funding toward lane striping plus an additional $6 million in annual funds to keep lane striping at the forefront of transportation projects for the first time ever.
. The product the agency is using emerged as one of the costlier but more effective solutions. The new funds make it possible to apply on a more regular basis, though.
