GHOST STRIPE REMEDIATION
Ghost striping is a significant concern across the United States and is commonly associated with erratic driving behaviors such as lane weaving or sudden lane changes, increased DOT liability,
and citizen complaints referencing safety concerns. In addition, clear and accurate road markings are crucial for autonomous driving systems, lane-keeping, aiding navigation, object and pedestrian detection, and traffic management.
THE PROBLEM
Ghost striping refers to conflicting stripes or markings, typically resulting from mainline lateral shifts or detours. These conflicting markings present a safety hazard to the traveling public by misdirecting or adding to driver confusion.
THE SOLUTION
Blank Canvas involves uniformly treating the width of the pavement to address the color and texture contrast of the ghost striping. This is accomplished using Skidabrader pavement texturing to achieve the desired surface finish.
THE BLANK CANVAS
Blank Canvas provides a cost-effective and efficient means of addressing these issues, ultimately leading to clearer road guidance for drivers, fewer accidents, and lower maintenance costs for state DOTs.
SOLVING PROBLEMS
One significant visual issue on roads is the stark contrast created by uneven surface grinding. Skidabrader’s specialized equipment is designed to blend the surface texture and minimize the visibility of these lines, effectively addressing this problem. Depending on the depth of the original grinding, Skidabrader's process can remove scarring from 80% to 100%, enhancing the road's appearance and overall surface quality. This process creates a more uniform look and feel for drivers, highlighting Skidabrader's expertise and commitment to quality.
