Did you know line painting dates back to the 1910s? The first road lines appeared in Michigan to keep drivers from veering into each other. Life before painted lines must’ve been a wild ride—literally!
Here’s another fun fact: the paint used for roads and parking lots isn’t just any paint. It’s specially formulated to withstand heavy traffic, weather, and even UV rays. This is science and art rolled into one!
But don’t try this at home. Seriously. Professional line painters use specialized machines to ensure straight, consistent lines. They also follow strict regulations for width, color, and placement.
So, next time you’re on the road, take a moment to appreciate the thought and effort behind those lines. They’re more fascinating than they seem!
