Why Lines Fail

## Why Do Crosswalks Fade First in a Lot?

Crosswalks sit right where cars turn, stop and accelerate. Paint there rarely lasts more than a season.

### Turning and braking

Cars brake and turn across the bars, grinding paint away in the wheel paths.

### Plow damage

Plows catch the edges of crosswalk bars at entrances.

### Low night visibility

Worn crosswalks lose their glass beads and disappear under headlights.

**Our fix:** Preformed tape or thermoplastic at busy crossings, with stop bars on every approach and retroreflective beads.

## Pedestrian Crosswalk Painting in Toronto

Pedestrian crosswalk painting in Toronto for plazas, schools, campuses and hospitals where people cross busy drive aisles. We lay ladder crosswalk and zebra crossing patterns with stop bars on every approach, following OTM Book 11 references for layout.

Material choice decides how long a crosswalk lasts:

-   **Paint** for low-traffic crossings and budget refreshes
-   **Hot-applied thermoplastic** for plaza entrances and busy drive aisles, lasting 3-5 years
-   **Preformed cold-applied tape** for the heaviest crossings, lasting 5-7 years at $12-$25 per linear foot

All three use beads for retroreflectivity so crosswalks stay visible under headlights.

## School and Campus Crossings

A school crossing at a drop-off loop sees a rush of cars and children twice a day. We schedule school work over breaks and weekends and use long-life materials so the crossing stays visible all year.

### How much does crosswalk painting cost?

Preformed tape crosswalks run $12-$25 per linear foot. Paint and thermoplastic options are quoted in writing based on crosswalk width and length.

### What is the difference between ladder and zebra crosswalks?

A zebra crossing uses wide bars parallel to traffic. A ladder crosswalk adds two edge lines on either side of the bars. Both are highly visible; we recommend based on your site and standards.

### How long does preformed tape last?

Preformed cold-applied tape typically lasts 5-7 years at busy crossings, compared with 12-24 months for paint.

### Do you paint crosswalks on public roads?

Our crosswalk work is on private property such as plazas, schools, campuses and hospitals, and with municipal partners where scope fits.

### Can crosswalks be added during a lot restripe?

Yes. Crosswalks and stop bars are commonly added during a full restripe and quoted on the same written quote.
