Abstract
A method of marking pavement includes applying a first layer of liquid tar to the pavement. The layer has a thickness of approximately between 0.01 inch and 0.1 inch, and a width of approximately between one inch and six inches. A layer of rubber is placed on top of and centered on the layer of tar. The layer of rubber has at least one vertically-oriented throughhole sized to allow liquid tar to flow therethrough. A second layer of liquid tar and reflective elements is applied on top of the layer of rubber sheet. Enough time is allowed to pass for the first and second layers of tar to cool and become solidified. Paper is adhered to a top surface of the second layer of tar and/or reflective elements. The paper and an adjacent portion of the pavement is painted over to thereby form a painted marking.
