THAT Report WD-63-91 be received; 2 . THAT only concession roads which meet the warrants listed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices be considered for centerline painting; and 3 . THAT provision be made in the 1992 Budget, for Council's consideration, for centerline and edge line painting all roads which meet the warrants . ----------------------------------------------------------- REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. l: Line Marking Schedules - Total Warranted Locations t . . .2 REPORT NO. : WD-63-91 PAGE 2 2.0 BACKGROUND 2 . 1 At a meeting held on July 16, 1990, Council passed Resolution #GPA-551-90: "That staff investigate the feasibility and cost factor of painting centerlines on the Town's Concession Roads . " 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3 . 1 A survey was conducted of other municipalities in the Region regarding line painting Concession Roads . CITY OF OSHAWA: The City of Oshawa follow guidelines listed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices . Centerline paint exists on 3 . 6 km (2 .2 miles) of the 70. 3 km (43 . 7 miles) of paved rural roads. PICKERING AND AJAX: Pickering and Ajax do not provide centerline painting on rural roads . TOWN OF WHITBY: The Town of Whitby provides centerline painting on 19 km ( 11.8 miles) of rural roads which are considered main collector rural roads with heavy traffic volumes . 3.2 Pavement markings have definite functions to perform in a proper scheme of traffic control. Pavement markings warn of any unusual or hazardous condition and serve to organize and control motorists through a hazardous or congested zone. They are used to supplement the regulations or warnings of other devices such as traffic signs or signals. i In some cases, such as turning lanes, they may serve by themselves to convey warnings in an effective manner. . . . 3 REPORT NO. : WD-63-91 PAGE 3 3 . 3 Pavement markings have definite limitations . They may be entirely obliterated by snow or sand, they are not clearly visible when wet, they have limited durability on surfaces exposed to heavy traffic and require repainting more than once per year. In spite of the limitations they have the advantage under favourable conditions of conveying warning or information to the motorist without diverting his attention from the roadway. 3 .4 Pavement markings have no legal authority and are only a guide to supplement other regulatory warnings or devices . A driver on a rural road cannot be charged for straddling a centerline. If the motorist interferes with other traffic the driver could then be charged with failing to share the road. This charge could be laid with or without the centerline being present. 3 .5 The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario publishes the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The manual lists warrants and guidelines for direction dividing lines on rural roads as follows: C 2 .02 . 01- (A) Two Lane Rural Highways Dividing Lines: ( 1) Throughout their length where the pavement is 6 m ( 19 .7 ft) or over in width and they carry two way peak hour volumes of 200 vehicles or more; (2) Throughout their length where the pavement is 5 .5 m ( 18. 0 ft) to 6 m ( 19 . 7 ft) in width and they carry two way peak hour volumes of 100 vehicles or more; (3) Throughout their length where the pavement is 5 m ( 16 .4 feet) to 5 .5 m ( 18 . 0 feet) in width and they carry two way peak hour volumes of 50 vehicles or more; (4) In sections where the accident record indicates a need for defining the division of the roadway between traffic travelling in opposite directions; . . .4 1C19 �i ? REPORT NO. : WD-63-91 PAGE 4 (5) In areas where the roadway is likely to be obscured frequently by atmospheric conditions. 3. 6 In addition to the yellow centerline, the Manual also lists guidelines for white edge lines on rural roads . C 2 . 05 Pavement Edge Lines: Line markings to delineate the pavement edge or in instances where the shoulder is paved, to separate the shoulder from the travelled lane shall be used on sections of highways. (A) Where the shoulder is paved; (B) In advance of and over all bridges; (C) 150 m (492 feet) in advance of and around all curves having an advisory speed less than the posted speed limit; (D) On merging or diverging lanes; (E) On pavement width transitions; (F) Where obstructions on the shoulder are within 60 cm (2 feet) of the pavement edge or edge of the travelled lane and thus may constitute a hazard to the motorist; i (G) Where there are peculiar physical conditions or frequent occurrences of fog. 3 . 7 There are disadvantages to line painting rural roads which do not meet the warrants . If limited funds are spent on unwarranted j locations the hazardous locations may not receive the required markings . If an entire road is centerlined painted it detracts from the more serious hazards of curves or bridges . Line Painting unwarranted locations puts an unnecessary financial burden on the tax payer. i REPORT NO. : WD-63-91 PAGE 5 3 . 8 The Public Works Department operates its own paint spraying equipment which is used for the following line painting: pedestrian crosswalks school bus loading zones disabled person symbols stop bars direction arrows hatch marks parking stalls parking lots 3 . 9 All centerline painting on Town streets is contracted to the Region of Durham who have the equipment for this type of work. During 1990 the Region painted 5.3 km of white edge lines and 31 km of centerline at a total cost of $15,400. The Region has provided an estimated 1991 cost to pre-mark and paint center lines of $588 per km ($946 per mile) for the first year. The second year pre-marking would not be required and the price would be $450 per km ($724 per mile) . Ordinarily all lines are painted once per year and should be done in the spring. 3 . 10 The cost to paint all centerlines and edge markings which meet the warrants would be $58, 000 in the first year, and based on 1991 prices, would be $55,000 in the second year. 3 . 11 The cost to paint centerlines on all concession roads would be $236,000 in the first year and $189,000 in the second year. I 3 . 12 The 1991 approved Budget provided for $27,000 for centerline and edge painting. i I i . . .6 0 ; � �, REPORT NO. : WD-63-91 PAGE 6 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4. 1 Based on the above, it is concluded that centerline and edge line painting should be provided only at warranted locations .
