Road painting season in the Sault officially starts today, and the city has some words of advice.
One: expect traffic delays.
Two: Be careful, because wet paint will stain your car.
"Although the paint used is water-based, it is designed to be safe for employees and the environment, and durable enough to withstand adverse weather conditions," says a news release from the city. "Motorists are advised that should they drive through recently painted lines, paint will permanently adhere to one’s vehicle. Be cautious and obey all signage."
"The City of Sault Ste. Marie thanks the public for their patience and understanding while this essential road maintenance takes place," the release continues.
