The technology will be applied to the Tallinn\u2013Tartu\u2013V\u00f5ru\u2013Luhamaa road between km 141.647 and 155.532.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\">Sinusoidal milling is already used in Nordic countries such as Norway, Sweden and Finland. The process involves milling a 3\u20135 mm-deep groove beneath the lane markings so that the applied thermoplastic marking remains level with the asphalt rather than sitting above the road surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\">This technology minimises potential damage caused by snowploughs during winter road maintenance and extends the service life of road markings. Longer-lasting markings also reduce the environmental footprint of road construction and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\">In longitudinal profile, the milled groove resembles a sine wave. When a vehicle drives over the line, it produces a warning vibration and sound. This effect can help prevent traffic fatalities by alerting drivers when they begin to drift out of their lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el wp-block-paragraph\">We look forward to seeing how this innovative road-marking solution is received and assessing its long-term impact. We hope that sinusoidal milling will become widely used throughout Estonia thanks to its life-saving and environmentally friendly properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are delighted to announce that, in cooperation with the Estonian Transport Administration, we are carrying out a pilot project using sinusoidal milling for the first time in Estonia.
