Taxiway painted lines / markings with black outlines

The black outline is a requirement at FAR 139 Airports on light colored pavement, for that reason.

The Hold Short bar that is being painted in the picture, looks like the Beads were not applied with applicator correctly, but hand tossed in that picture, and the reflective glass beads are everywhere like snow. Hope they swept them up before aircraft engines ingested them…
