Bike & walkways: High-friction, color-fast lane and crosswalk coatings for safe wayfinding.

Painted bike lanes wear out fast and lose color under UV. We scope a coating system from the products best suited to the network — durable color, measurable traction, and MUTCD-compliant layouts across the whole corridor.

Problems we see

Where bike & walkways surfaces fail.

Faded lane color

Conventional paint loses contrast in 12–18 months. Wayfinding fails and conflict zones get blurry.

Slick crossings

Worn crosswalks become slip hazards in rain and snow.

Inconsistent striping

Multiple contractors leave a patchwork of widths and colors across a network.

What we put down

The system for bike & walkways.

Color-fast coating system

UV-stable, abrasion-resistant coatings selected for the traffic load — holding color 5+ years.

High-friction crosswalks

Friction treatments matched to the crossing to raise BPN values for safe stops in wet conditions.

Network-consistent specs

One installer, one spec, one product family across the entire bike network.

Outcomes

What you get when the work is done.

Documented, repeatable, and built into the close-out package on every job.

  • Visible, durable wayfinding through every season
  • Safer pedestrian and cyclist crossings
  • One spec across an entire network
Questions

Bike & walkways questions, answered.

What colors are available?+

Standard green, red, blue, and custom municipal colors across the product lines we install. All formulations are UV-stable and ADA-friendly.

Who actually does the work?+

Our crews are a blend of Harkin staff and vetted subcontract partners, all trained through the Harkin Certification process and separately certified by every product manufacturer we install. That's how we can bring the right system to bike and pedestrian networks instead of forcing one product to fit every job.
