⚠️ Street Line Painting Operations Underway
Posted: July 15, 2025
Rothesay would like to advise that the 2025 Longitudinal Line Painting Program on town streets is underway and will continue over the next week. Motorists may experience traffic interruptions in some areas as needed during the program.
Line painting is a moving operation. There is a paint truck with a buffer truck following behind when the work is taking place. The warning truck is there to provide enough space and time to allow for the paint to dry. If you cross the centerline to pass line painting operations, your vehicle will end up with paint on it. Please be patient and follow the direction of the marking vehicles. Flashing lights and LINE PAINTING – WET PAINT signs are mounted on the back of equipment to warn motorists that line painting is being done.
If you get paint on your vehicle, have it washed immediately. Rothesay assumes no liability for paint damages to vehicles that have crossed wet paint lines or disobeyed the warning signs and vehicles. Thank you for your understanding.
