Abstract: Pavement line marking apparatus adapted to detect old line markings on a pavement surface and to repaint such markings or alternatively to paint new line markings to a desired pattern, the apparatus comprising a support beam (11) with a marking detection element (80) arranged at one end such that any old line markings are detectable thereby, upon movement of the detection element 80 over the desired pavement surface, paint applicator means (75, 76) arranged mounted from the support boom rearwardly from the marking detection element (80) for movement transversely of the direction of movement of the support boom (11) along the desired pavement surface, and control means actuable in response to a signal from the marking detection element to move said paint applicator means to a position over the old line markings and to operate the paint applicator means to deposit paint along the old line markings on the markings on the pavement surface.

Abstract: A sound barrier member for enabling a sound barrier providing good prevention of sound transmission sound reflection. The sound barrier member comprises an enclosure in a generally panel like configuration having a rectangular outer perimeter adapted to engage with other similar members to produce a sound barrier. The enclosure is formed by a front panel (10) and a rear panel unit (16) defining an enclosed space therebetween, with the front panel (10) having a plurality of openings (12) in a desired shape and array allowing sound transmission into the enclosed space. A sound absorbing material (25) is positioned in the enclosed space overlying at least the openings in the front panel (10) and being spaced forwardly of the rear panel unit (16).
