Just for the record, I have a graduate degree in transportation engineering, worked in the field for over thirty years, and have excellent vision, including night-vision. I have never had a significant problem driving our trails. That being said...

I have driven paths at night that made it very difficult to see path boundaries and approaching medians. Especially considering the nature of our population, I think the markings have value and are a reasonable use of our money.
