To assist the paint striping team, centerline cones are offset how far to the left when placing them along the MOS?

Centerline cones are offset to the left by two feet to create a safe, workable corridor for the paint striping operation along the MOS. That two‑foot offset gives the crew and their spray equipment room to operate without having the cones directly in the spray path or in the exact centerline area, while still making the boundary highly visible to approaching traffic. It balances keeping the work zone clearly marked with enough clearance for equipment, worker safety, and lane integrity. A larger offset reduces the usable work space and can shift the marked boundary away from the actual centerline, while a smaller offset won’t provide adequate clearance for the spraying equipment and crew.
