'''Standard.''' When crosswalk lines are used, they shall consist of solid white lines that mark the crosswalk.

			There are two styles of crosswalk markings: transverse and longitudinal (also known as continental). In most applications, the longitudinal markings are preferred and should be used to provide greater visibility, especially at midblock and uncontrolled crossings.

			When used, longitudinal crosswalk markings shall be 24 inches wide and at least 6 feet in length, except that they shall be at least 8 feet in length at non-intersection crossings where the posted speed limit is 40 mph or greater.

	'''Support.''' There are two types of raised pavement markers, temporary and snowplowable. Snowplowable raised pavement markers are considered to be a long life marking application. Temporary markers are an option for temporarily marking the pavement surface after a hot mix overlay or other surface treatment that obliterates the existing markings (see [https://www.modot.org/~~sites~~/~~default/files/documents/62010.pdf~~ Standard Plan 620.10]). Temporary markers, with covers, are to be used if the surface treatment operation includes the use of emulsion, such as chip seals, sand seals and scrub seals. The markers are placed prior to the emulsion spray to ensure a good bond to the existing pavement and the covers are removed after the surface sealing operation.		'''Support.'''
