They sometimes still use thermoplastic for city and town municipalities just not on highways any longer!

After talking to a senior engineer at my firm he said ConnDOT use to use thermoplastic years ago but they have since moved on to epoxy resin.

ConnDOT doesn’t spec thermoplastic for highways. Atleast I don’t see it in the form 818 which is ConDOTs standards on construction materials. It’s usually waterborne, hot applied waterborne or epoxy resin. Epoxy resin has the highest level of wet night reflectivity and lasts 3-5 years as opposed to thermoplastic which is only 2-4 and has medium level wet night reflectivity.
