    Also a good argument for that texturing i was talking about. The driver may not be aware of how far over the line they are. With the texturing it is difficult to ignore the lines.

      They aren’t aware, but I guarantee it’s not because of the markings. Probably looking at their phone.

        Yes, and if there was texture it would be felt in the car. The markings I’m refering are small bumps on or beside the line. They make the vehicle vibrate and produce a loud noise when a tire drives on them. It might make them look up from their phone

          I see now. “Might”. I would much like the tree separation you mentioned, not only a physical barrier but a noise and wind breaker. But it would cost more… :(

            My understanding is they are very cheap to install relatively speaking. All lanes should really have them, they are really useful even for regular driving. For example if you have to cross a shoulder line or center line it can give the driver a better idea of exactly where the line and their vehicle is. They also help find the shoulder or center line if some snow is covering the paint. If pulling over all the way onto the shoulder, you know when you are completely out the lane after the second set of vibrations.
