In the rain on Ontario (Canada) roads you'd be lucky to see any stripes or markings on the pavement, whether you're driving on a lit or unlit road. This is a huge disappointment. For the relatively high taxes we pay, our roads are now at the level commonly associated with the US in the 80's and 90's - that is to say, significant disrepair. I'd have no problem believing there is some outright collusion between the paving companies and select individuals in provincial and/or municipal government.

I'd love to see any type of reflector integrated into the pavement, but I also realize that many solutions would pose a problem for snow plows in the Winter months.
