Road and Highway striping

I know that in Pennsylvania the state roads and U.S. highways before the interstates came about, solid white meant no passing, dashed was a passing zone. A solid white line and a dashed white line meant that there was no passing on the lane that lane but the lane with the dashed line could. I can remember going into Ohio and their lines were yellow. The signs showing passing or no passing were not used in Pa. until probably the '80's. With the advent of the National Highway Law the lines were changed to yellow and a white strip on the edges. There were no white edge strips prior to that. I would suggest that you get in touch with the Texas Highway Dept. or try a local library and again looking at some highway pictures of the era you are building you layout in. <br />Tom[:)]
