Policy on Edgeline Markings on Wasco County Roads
April 19, 2000
The 2000 edition of the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices states edge line markings shall be placed for paved traveled ways on streets and highways that are rural arterials, 20 feet or more in width, with the average daily traffic of 6000 or greater. Wasco County shall stripe those roads.
The 2000 MUTCD also states that edge line markings should be placed on paved traveled ways for streets and highways that are rural collectors with 20 feet or more in width. Wasco County's policy is to put edge markings on roads that have adverse weather conditions.
For example, we will put fog lines on Sevenmile Hill Road because of the frequency of snow, ice, and fog on a curvy route. However, we will not put fog lines on Long Hollow Road because it is in a dryer part of the county with better visibility, less curvature, and lower ADT's.
