There are many rules and safety regulations in place to ensure public safety on our highways such as posted speed limits and safety standards for vehicles such as proper tires, adequate brakes, etc.  How is it possible that our rural highways, pretty much most times of year, have no visible road lines?  When conditions are dark and rainy it is virtually impossible to navigate which lane to drive in or where the shoulders of the roads are.  How many accidents are caused by drivers crossing invisible centre lines?  How is it that we must have proper tires on our vehicles, but there is apparently no standards in place for visible road lines?  I'm sure being able to see where you are driving will save lives.  Surely, there must be solution for paint that is visible, reflective, and adheres to the road for longer than a week.  If not, why not?  Does the paint that was used in the past, that was reflective, and stayed on the roads any more dangerous to the environment than other products we consume everyday?  When does public safety come in to play in this regard?  Let's make safe driving a priority to reduce serious injuries and fatalities on our highways!  Perhaps the politicians from the cities need to drive rural BC highways at night.
