Performance of plastic striping tape (FHWA-OK-86-3) 2718

Abstract

Standard thermoplastic traffic marking str ipe was compared with 3M "STAMARK" Brand 5730 plastic marking tape. Both products were placed on two new PCC pavement projects and evaluated over two years. The "STAMARK" was found to be more expensive, easier to place, just as durable, but less reflective at night than standard thermoplastic stripe.
