When the roads around Dallas, GA needed renewed clarity and safety, our team at Wildcat Striping, Sealing & Paving stepped in—on time, professional, and ready to deliver results the city could count on.

Starting With Familiar Ground

We have a longstanding relationship with our client in Dallas.

They trust us not only for the technical work but for the consistency we bring to every project. So, when the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) plans for new thermoplastic striping and signage in three key intersections, we were their first call.

These weren’t minor touch‑ups. The intersections involved three separate “3‑way” junctions, each needing crisp, durable stop bars and clear signage to reinforce traffic safety.

Pinpointing the Challenges

The project had two main pieces:

1. Thermoplastic Striping

• Layout and stripe 9 stop bars in all — that’s three intersections, three stop bars each.
• Apply two coats of high-grade traffic paint per plan.
• All within one mobilization (i.e., one site move-in and setup).

2. STOP Signage & Street Blades

• Supply and install 9 R1‑1 STOP signs on nine Type‑7 posts set in dirt (since the local soil was the substrate).
• Add three sets of street name blades (six total blades) per the customer’s plan.
• Also within a single mobilization.

The trick: the work had to match strict GDOT specifications and plan snips submitted on September 26, 2025. We needed to keep to tolerances, alignments, reflectivity, and durability standards.

And since these intersections serve residents, minimizing traffic disruption was critical.

How We Tackled It

Careful Planning & Mobilization

Because both striping and signage had to fit into one mobilization apiece, we organized our crew logistics, equipment, and materials ahead of time.

We did pre‑checks: verifying plan coordinates, ensuring paint and thermoplastic materials met GDOT spec, and confirming sign post locations based on soil conditions.

Precision Layout

We surveyed and staked the stop bar locations, double-checking against plan snips.

With those fixed, we placed our thermoplastic striping equipment. We applied the first coat with exact alignment, allowed proper cure time, then laid the second coat, ensuring strong adhesion and long-term wear resistance.

Signage Installation

Concurrent to striping (within the same mobilization window), our team installed the nine STOP signs on Type‑7 posts driven into the ground in dirt, ensuring stable footing and correct heights. We also added the sets of street name blades, positioning them as per the plan.

All reflective surfaces and panel alignments passed inspection.

Quality Control & Cleanup

After installation, we did detailed inspections: straightness, visual alignment, retroreflectivity, and edge crispness. We made minor adjustments on the fly. We cleaned up the site, removed debris, and reopened the intersections in a timely manner.

The Result & Feedback

The intersections in Dallas, GA, now feature bold, lasting thermoplastic stop bars and clearly posted signage. The work meets (and in spots slightly exceeds) GDOT durability and finish standards. Perhaps most importantly, the client was pleased:

“Wildcat is always on time and does quality work.”

That speaks volumes: consistent performance, punctual mobilization, and craftsmanship the client trusts.
