Utah freeway lane marking enhancement project
The Utah Department of Transportation spokesperson John Gleason, recently spoke on the ongoing $26 million project for enhancing lane markings on freeways across Utah.
This project focuses on contrast striping, often referred to as “tiger tail” striping. It is when a black line directly follows a white line.
This color combination enhances lane visibility, making it more noticeable and safe for drivers.
The Utah County portion of the project on I-15, from Payson to Lehi, has received positive feedback.
A temporary break for the winter was announced but the project will resume spring 2024.
