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.

“Few institutions can shape a community like a state transportation department.” Do you agree or disagree? This sentence is the opening line of Governing.com’s recent article on how State DOTs can grow and improve. The reality is that state DOTs have a lot more to do with everyday quality of life than you might suspect.

Does restriping your parking lot matter? When a striping and infrastructure company asks that question, you can be pretty sure the answer is going to be “yes.” At InfraStripe, though, we genuinely believe in having a good reason behind the work that we do and the recommendations we make. In this post, we want to tell you why fresh, clear parking lot striping is important.

Rural roads are more than twice as deadly for motorists as interstates and urban roads! According to the recently released TRIP report on America’s rural roads, the number of fatalities that occur on rural roadways is “disproportionately high.” Among other things, the report examined the potential causes of this higher accident and fatality rate on rural roads and gave recommendations for infrastructure changes that could address this problem. At InfraStripe, safety is a core value and sustainable infrastructure is a top priority for us. So we wanted to take some time to share the results from the TRIP study on rural roads.

It’s possible that you’re wondering what a striping company has to do with autonomous vehicles (AVs). Fair enough. The answer is: more than meets the eye. Here’s the main point of connection, though: roadways and striping are all about building sustainable infrastructure, and AVs are going to require substantive infrastructure adjustments. At InfraStripe, we’re strategizing with other industry leaders to map out a transition plan for a transportation world with autonomous (also known as “driverless”) vehicles.
