    Ontario and some provinces have an oil based paint that stays on tyr road with its reflective properties. BC uses some environmentally friendly paint that is totally faded in no time.

      In ontario, the lines disappear when it’s rainy as well. I do think oil based paints are any more reflective, they add that later

        I meant the oil bases retains whatever reflective formula they have. Here in BC the lines are gone in a short period and non reflective pretty quickly. Considering we have rain and dark skies all winter you would think they’d fix it.

      I’m in Ontario. I remember reflective lines when I was a kid in the 90s but I haven’t seen them with the reflective property in decades. When it rains, the lines are gone.
