I don't get the point really. Maybe in the south where people don't expect ice and snow. As it is we have cars that tell us the outside temperature (some even have warning lights when ice is likely), traffic and weather reports on the radio, this white stuff called snow on the side of the road most of the time in winter and electronic overhead signs that warn us about road conditions. Any idiot who can ignore all of those things and still drive like it's July isn't going to pay attention to pink paint.

this is definitely geared towards moderate climates where surface temperature is not necessarily the same as ambient temp.
In the north or mountains, from October to April, the road is cold enough for it to be icy, but in the South and Mid-atlantic, the temperatures vary enough that the ground may or may not be cold enough.
Of course, any time the temperature drops below 32, the news channels have FREEZE WATCH 08 or STORM WATCH 09 if it might rain :-)
Yes, a lot of us on here are observant of weather conditions and road, but the general population not so much.
