Today, Americans of all ages drive more cars and trucks, more miles on more daily trips than ever before, which in turn generates more traffic. This growth not only creates continual wear and tear on our highway system, it directly impacts the safety of drivers and pedestrians. In addition, intersection crashes and pedestrian fatalities have also increased exponentially, primarily because of inadequate stopping distances, driver distractions, and impaired visibility at crossings. These accidents could be significantly reduced with well-delineated lanes, paths and crossings that interface with commerce and schools.
Improving contrast sensitivity, distance perception and color recognition in all weather conditions will decrease some of the major causes of crashes and fatalities for all age drivers.
Highway safety is essential for mobility, economic growth and quality of life. Through the use of updated technology, congestion and lane interruption can be minimized without sacrificing safety. Ennis provides the highest quality durable pavement markings that allow all maintenance and construction crews to "get in, get out and stay out."
The US Congress has made Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) a priority in transportation legislation (www.saferoutesinfo.org). Numerous studies have been conducted that advocate the increased use of warning signs and pavement markings as low cost solutions that greatly improve pedestrian and vehicular safety in school zones. As communities consider improvements for routes to school, care should be taken to identify potential problems. Read More

Construction and Striping Work Zones are an industry necessity if the estimated 4M miles of national roadways are to be maintained. These work zones can be stationary or moving, active during the day or night, and last from several hours to several years. In any given year, there are as many as 3,000 active work zones during the peak striping season. Unfortunately, on average there are one thousand work zone fatalities that occur annually. Ennis recognizes the need for clear driver comprehension of lane change and speed reduction in work zones. Read More
In 2009, there were 33,808 fatalities on our Nation’s roadways. Of these, 7,043 (20.8% of total fatalities) were intersection or intersection related. With different crossing and entering movements by both drivers and pedestrians, an intersection is one of the most complex traffic situations that motorists encounter. The need for clear and understandable horizontal pavement markings is crucial to reducing accidents. Read More
Municipalities have unique requirements due to the high volume of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Stopping and starting, intersections, crosswalks, school zones, all mean multiple awareness opportunities for the driving public. It’s critical that drivers have clear and highly conspicuous markings and advance warnings to help eliminate crashes and pedestrian fatalities. And don’t forget the weather...further contributing to the joys of everyday city driving. Read More
