Traffic Paint
- Best for
- Cost-effective markings for most parking lots and roadways.

Thermoplastic & MMA Pavement Markings
Long-life markings for crosswalks, intersections, bike lanes and high-traffic areas across Vancouver Island, installed by the same crew that does our line painting.
Thermoplastic markings
Thermoplastic is thicker and more durable than paint, which makes it a good fit for busy roads, crosswalks and other high-traffic areas.
We install thermoplastic on municipal roads, highways and private sites, to the project specification and with traffic control from our own crew.
- Continental and ladder crosswalks
- Stop bars
- Turn arrows and symbols
- Word legends
- School zone markings
- Bike symbols and sharrows
- Speed hump markings
- High-wear intersection markings
MMA coloured surfacing
MMA (methyl methacrylate) is used when you need an extremely durable coloured or specialty marking.
It is the go-to for active transportation projects: green bike lanes and conflict zones, red bus lanes, and coloured crosswalks and plazas that need to hold their colour under traffic.
- Green bike lanes
- Bike lane conflict zones
- Red bus lanes
- Coloured and decorative crosswalks
- Pedestrian walkways and plazas
- Logos and detailed designs
