Reply to comment by sweaterandsomenikes in Traffic paint on major roads disappearing when it rains. by Gem_carver

This makes complete sense, But I never knew that was the reason for two sets of paint.

But there are always certain conditions anywhere when it rains that make it difficult to see line markings.

Probably just old paint. Paint goes on and then glass beads are poured on the wet paint. As paint wears down beads fall out.
