This bill would require Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet to inspect road markings and paint, such as lane lines and crosswalks, six months after they are applied. If an inspection shows the markings do not meet quality standards, the Cabinet would have 30 days to fix or reapply them. The goal is to help ensure road markings stay visible and meet safety standards over time. Who it may affect: all Kentuckians who drive, walk, or cycle on state highways.
