Abstract:
1. A method of marking pavement, comprising the steps of: applying a first layer of liquid tar to the pavement, the layer having a thickness of approximately between 0.01 inch and 0.1 inch, and a width of approximately between one inch and six inches; placing a layer of rubber on top of and centered on the layer of tar, the layer of rubber having at least one vertically-oriented throughhole sized to allow liquid tar to flow therethrough; applying a second layer of liquid tar and reflective elements on top of the layer of rubber sheet; allowing enough time to pass for the first and second layers of tar to cool and become solidified; adhering paper to a top surface of the second layer of tar and/or reflective elements; painting over the paper and an adjacent portion of the pavement to thereby form a painted marking; and allowing weather conditions and pressure from vehicular traffic to cause the paper to disintegrate or peel off the top surface of the second layer.
