When does line painting occur?

Line painting of stop line bars, parking lines and bike sharrows within the Town will be completed in daytime, evening, or night-time hours. Centre lines and turning arrows throughout town will be completed by a Contractor.

Why does it take so long to repaint the lines each year?

Ground temperature must warm up so that the paint will adhere properly.  The line painting is weather dependent as the paint being used is water based it is not advisable to paint during forecasted rainy weeks. 

Line painting will start after Shelburne’s roads are swept and cleaned. 

Paint operations are causing traffic backups, can we pass the warning trucks?

The intent of the warning trucks behind the line painter, is to provide enough space in between to allow for paint to dry. If you cross the centerline to pass line painting operations, chances are that your vehicle will end up with paint on it. Please be patient and follow the direction of the marking vehicles.

What can I do if I get paint on my vehicle?

If you find that you have paint on your vehicle, at your earliest opportunity go to a car wash or have your vehicle power-sprayed to try and remove the paint. If that does not remove the paint, spray WD-40 on your vehicle and let dry for two hours, and then rewash. If this has still not removed the paint, apply Vaseline to the affected area and let sit overnight, and rewash with soap and water.  Do not scrub with any type of abrasive pad or cloth. This may ruin the clear coat on your vehicle. All washing should be done with soap and water, and a vehicle wash brush or sponge.

If I cannot remove the paint, is the Town responsible?

The Town of Shelburne assumes no liability for paint damages to vehicles that have crossed wet paint lines or disobeyed the warning signs and vehicles.
