Unbelievable. Roads in LA County:

Type of Roadway	Miles
Interstate	313
Other Freeways & Expressways	206
Principal Arterial	1,958
Minor Arterial	2,875
Major Collector	2,931
Minor Collector	335
Local	14,525
Total Maintained Miles	23,142

23,000 miles * $40,000/mile = $920,000,000.

Assume the stuff lasts a year -- that's a cool $1 BILLION per year to do this lunacy on every road in the county.

No Problemo! Californians should be PROUD to paint their roads white. I'm sure there's nothing else that this money could be spent on.

Just think of all the positive effects on Global Warming if they mandate that all black-colored rifles be painted white!!!!

Ummm do they HAVE a billion semolians at this point? Can’t imagine their credit is very good.

I recall some story of Kali DOT not using common sense on a snow-prone road into Nevada. They insist on using white paint for the lane markings, even though yellow has proven to be not only more effective with snow cover, but more durable as well.

Somebody must have a financial interest in titanium dioxide.

NV? They use yellow on their side of the state line on such roads.
