Description
On this episode we’re working with a division that keeps you in line. The work they do affects you every time you drive around town. Do you know where I am today?
A
On
today's
show,
we're
going
to
be
working
with
a
division
that
helps
keep
you
in
line
the
work
they
do
is
visible.
Every
time
you
drive
around
town,
do
you
know
where
I
am
today,
I'm
brian
phillips.
On
most
days,
I
work
in
an
office
for
the
ames
city
manager,
since
starting
here
I've
learned
a
lot
about
the
different
jobs
city.
Employees
have
many
of
them.
You
might
see
every
day,
others
work
behind
the
scenes
to
provide
quality
programs
and
exceptional
service
to
the
community,
and
that's
why
I'm
here
to
experience
the
different
jobs.
A
A
A
C
So
part
of
the
responsibility
of
the
traffic
department
is
painting
all
the
lines
every
year
throughout
the
city.
Okay,
so
we
have
a
variety
of
types
of
lines.
We
have
turn
lane
lines.
We
have
center
lines.
We
also
re-mark
all
of
our
crosswalks.
All
of
our
stop
bars
a
lot
of
symbols
like
bike,
sharer
symbols
and
a
lot
of
turn
arrows
and
things
like
that.
So
we
maintain
all
of
those
and
we
have
to
repaint
them
all.
Every
year.
C
Takes
us
to
do
like
the
center
line
and
lane
lines-
that's
usually
a
three
rig
three
week
process
to
do.
Crosswalks
stop
bars,
turn
arrow
stuff
like
that
is
usually
a
three
month
process.
So
we
try
to
do
that.
Obviously,
when
students
leave
town
our
population,
you
know
decreases
a
little
bit.
Traffic
volume
is
a
little
bit
lower.
So
we
try
to
do
that
during
those
three
months
and
also
we
get
the
summer
heat.
So
the
paint
dries
a
lot
faster.
C
C
A
C
Okay,
so
one
of
the
issues
that
comes
up
is
the
high
volumes
of
traffic
that
we're
dealing
with
these.
This
paint
has
to
be
put
down
generally,
when
it's
hot
out
when
our
pavement
temperatures
are
up
there
quite
a
ways
that
allows
it
to
dry
really
fast.
If
we
do
it,
when
we
don't
have
good
payment
temperatures,
it
could
take.
You
know
several
minutes
for
the
paint
to
dry,
whereas
when
the
payment
temperature
is
90
degrees,
plus
it'll
dry
in
a
matter
of
seconds,
okay.
C
Sure
the
main
thing
is
just
keep
your
eyes
up.
We
always
try
to
give
everybody
a
fair
amount
of
warning
if
we're.
If
we're
stationary,
painting
a
crosswalk,
we'll
have
road
work
ahead,
signs
we'll
have
cones
set
up
to
to
shift
you
over
in
a
lane
of
travel.
Maybe
if
we're
painting
with
our
line
striper
we'll
we'll,
obviously
have
the
sign
on
it.
We'll
have
flashing
lights
and
we
also
follow
with
a
follow
vehicle
at
all
times,
just
to
make
sure
we're
visible
and
that
people
know.
You
know
what
they're
approaching.
A
C
Go
through
935,
gallons
of
white
paint.
That's
the
paint
that
we
use
to
paint
crosswalks,
that
is
approximately
299
000
lineal
feet
or
roughly
57
miles
of
paint
that
we
apply
for
crosswalks
wow.
That's
a
lot
of
paint.
That
is
a
lot
of
paint
and
also
we
also
paint
yellow
curves
to
distinguish
where
you
can
and
camp
park.
B
C
We'll
repaint
the
island
noses
so
there
we
also
use
an
additional
580
gallons
of
paint,
roughly
185
000
lineal
feet,
which
is
roughly
35
miles.
So
there's
a
lot
of
paint
there
and
that's
that's
all
applied
with
our
paint
buggies.
Now
mainline
striping
like
we're
going
to
be
doing
today
where
we
use
this
machine,
we
use
about
440
gallons
of
white
paint.
C
C
C
C
Going
into
the
wrong
lines,
or
things
like
that,
that's
right
and
and
with
the
traffic
volumes
we
have
here
in
the
city
of
ames
and
because
we're
in
the
midwest
and
we
have
to
run
snow
plows
during
the
winter
time.
That's
what
that's!
What
knocks
a
lot
of
our
pavement
markings
out,
so
that's
why
we
have
to
apply
them
every
year.
C
A
A
A
D
D
D
D
C
D
D
They're
they're
always
gonna
turn
there's
nothing.
We
can
do
about
it.
Okay,
this
is
the
event
all
right
here
we
go
all
right.
Let's
do
it
ready
terry
will
behind
us,
we'll,
follow
and
block
right
there
on
just
right
of
that
break.
I'm
gonna
put
in
three
lines.
Okay,
here
we
go
a
little
more
to
the
left,
all
right,
we'll
paint
three.
D
D
A
Well,
pavement
markings
play
an
important
role
in
traffic
safety,
and
today
we
got
to
see
what
it
takes
to
maintain
some
of
those
lines.

go.
