• Abstract:
  Numerous types of bike lane marking were used in a test section of US-302 in Berlin VT as part of a road diet configuration. The bike lane pavement marking test was done as part of a larger experimental feature study on durable pavement marking tapes, in which set of pavement markings from various vendors was used along the course of the reconstructed roadway. Three green bike lane markings were used, Ennis-Flint PreMark preformed thermoplastic, Ennis-Flint CycleGripMMAX MMA, and Transpo Color-Safe MMA. Observations of the instillation, and performance after two years is documented and described. Through visual observations, both MMA products, CycleGripMMAX and Color-Safe are outperforming the PreMark preformed thermoplastic. The majority of the green colored bike path markings remain in functioning condition, with a few skip marks in need of remarking. Based on results observed, MMA green bike marking should be explored for future bike lane markings, when cost, time to use, and environmental factors permit.
