He’s not saying the markings wash away in rain, he’s saying 3” of water on the ground at night make the paint invisible.

- kergonath 4y agoIf the water is high enough that you don’t see the markings, then driving is a terrible idea as you don’t know what else you’re not seeing.
- Amezarak 4y agoIt takes very little water, especially at night, to totally obscure road markings. If we took that advice, then you couldn't drive on rainy nights at all. Just like the GP said, lighting can make the situation worse by reflecting off the water. The signage is a great backup in this scenario. It's not clear to be what else you think the water might be obscuring in this scenario. Maybe potholes, on poorly maintained roads you're not familiar with? At least where I live, that's not a problem.
