Street Striping
Contracted street striping includes painting of the majority of center lines, turn lanes, and other traffic lines. The City of Sheridan uses a private contractor for this street striping.
However, general purpose striping is done by City's Public Works staff and includes crosswalks, stop bars, and any emergency striping. Where ever possible, the City uses thermo-plastic and 3M striping material. This material lasts six to eight times longer than traditional paint.
