• Abstract:
  In 1989, two pavement striping tape materials were placed on two new asphalt pavements. A two-year performance evaluation of the materials has been completed by the Oregon State Highway Division's (OSHD's) Materials and Research Section. ; On the first project a 3M Stamark Pliant Polymer Pavement Marking Tape - Series 5730, was placed on an Oregon dense-graded Class "B" asphalt concrete pavement. Only the skip line was marked with the pavement marking tape. Paint was used to mark the fog line and crosswalk. This area has a high volume of cross traffic, much of which is truck traffic. Over the two year period, the material proved to be durable in that it provided a full service skip line, whereas the painted lines had to be repainted several times. The marking tape material reflectance was below the OSHD standards. ; On the second project, 3M Stamark Pliant Polymer Marking Tape - Series A350 (white) and Series 351 (yellow) were placed on an Oregon open-graded Class "F" asphalt concrete pavement. This area is in a snow zone with a significant amount of studded tire usage during the winter months. Over the two-year period, the marking tape did well in retaining its reflectance, but had bonding problems. Some of the material came up after the first snowfall and had to be replaced. ; The recommendations of this study are: The Series 5730 pavement marking tape is not recommended for use on Oregon's highways. The Series A350 pavement marking tape is not recommended for open-graded pavements on Oregon's highways unless the durability problems can be resolved. The Series A350 pavement marking tape should be examined on a dense-graded pavement.
