We’re going to dive straight into some numbers about highway work zone incidents. Although most people know that work zones pose safety risks for vehicle traffic as well as for construction workers, seeing the actual facts attached to that general information can help our country find a safer way forward. Awareness is the first step toward change and saving lives!

We’ll skip the fancy introduction and get this party started! Today, we’re celebrating two of our InfraStripe companies and their home states: Nevada-based NBSCO and Florida-based AKCA.

Welcome to 2020! Congratulations on making it into a new decade. Milestones are a great time for looking back and looking forward, so we wanted to take the opportunity to do just that. We’re reflecting on vehicle safety advancements in the past several decades and looking ahead at the advancements coming down the road (pun semi-intended).

What’s the difference between a street and a road? What about an avenue and a boulevard? Where do these names come from? Do they tell us anything or are they just random? If you’ve ever wondered about road name origins or naming conventions, this 4-minute Vox video is for you! Phil Edwards’ catchy narration guides you through illustrations of each type of roadway, providing answers for those questions that have tickled the back of your mind for so long.

The holiday season is the busiest travel season for U.S. roads! AAA’s travel forecasts for the 2018 end of the year holiday season predicted that over 112 million Americans would travel for the holidays, and the travel trend for the 2019 holidays has only continued to rise. What this means is that an unprecedented number of cars will be on the roads over the next 6 weeks, and we want you to be safe.

When most of us think about infrastructure maintenance and development, we are generally aware that most infrastructure is government-owned. We are probably less conscious of the various levels of government involved in infrastructure: federal, state, and local (city, county, municipality, etc.). [Read more…]

InfraStripe helped sponsor an initiative that measured the retroreflectivity of pavement markings across America in order to improve pavement markings for both human and machine drivers.

Our family is growing! Our newest addition is AKCA, a Florida-based company with a strong presence in Florida, but also performs contracts in Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina. [Read more…]

We are forward-thinkers and future-shapers. We value innovation, creativity, and strategy. We’ve found, however, that remembering where we came from and how we got to where we are now is one of the best ways to discover ideas and craft a vision for where to go next. [Read more…]

Nearly 228 million drivers travel America’s 4.18 million miles of roads (ARTBA, 2017). Together, federal, state, and county transportation agencies seek to maintain and continuously improve the safety features of those roadways. The most common and most effective safety features are pavement markings. As a striping and infrastructure company, we take our role in creating safe roads seriously.
