system of the province while local road and street painting is carried out by crews employed by municipalities although he was a pretty shrewd operator tom sawyer would have been envious of the methods used to palnl lane stripes on our highways today not a hand touches a brush all the painting is done mechanically by spray guns in painting machines speciallydesigned and built by the department each machine is mounted on a fourton truck that can be driven from either the left or righthand side so that the driver can accurately follow the existing line the most recentlydesigned painting units which make up more than half of the departments fleet are rated as some of the finest of their kind operating on the continent the design gives them the capability of laying paint from either or both sides of the vehicle always going with the traffic operated by a four man crew ihey can cover is miles a day in addition to spraying solid or broken lines the machines release a topping of fine glass beads on the paint a split second after it is laid to provide a reflective coat for easier night driving thats an extra touch that tom sawyer really would have liked bach-to- school
