The Importance of Road Markings
Every driver knows road markings are crucial for safety. Ignoring them can cause dangerous situations or tragic accidents.

The New Thin Blue Line
In some U.S. areas, drivers may spot a new marking—a thin blue line between the yellow center lines. This blue line isn’t just paint; it honors police officers serving their communities. In Maryland, these lines are added to roads for both tribute and safety, leading directly to police stations.

A Gesture of Gratitude
Ocean City, Maryland, warmly welcomes these blue lines. Mayor Rick Sheehan, understanding the importance of police in maintaining peace, supports this move. The blue line on Ocean City’s 65th Street, for instance, leads straight to the police department.

A Growing Trend
We hope more communities across the nation add blue lines to their roads. Police officers often go underappreciated, so this simple gesture is a powerful way to show respect and gratitude for their sacrifices.
