Asphalt road being milled in preparation for repaving. Pavement milling (cold planing, asphalt milling, or profiling) is the process of removing at least part of the surface of a paved area such as a road, bridge, or parking lot. Milling removes anywhere from just enough thickness to level and smooth the surface to a full depth removal.
Rumble strips are commonly used for the same purpose. A rumble strip can be a series of simple troughs, typically 1 cm (0.4 in) deep and 10 cm (4 in) wide, that is ground out of the asphalt. Other alternatives, similar to the Botts' dots, use raised strips, painted or glued to the surface.

These devices are usually placed adjacent, over or along the highways , roads, traffic facilities and other public areas that require traffic control .
Most state-owned roads and many arterial roads in the state use Botts' dots as the delineation between lanes. They are also used for the dashed marking in passing areas. More recently, Botts' dots have been used in the snow-free areas of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Georgia, Washington, and Texas.
Delineators are tall pylons (similar to traffic cones or bollards) mounted on the road surface, or along the edge of a road, and are used to channelize traffic. These are a form of raised pavement marker but unlike most such markers, delineators are not supposed to be hit except by out-of-control or drifting vehicles.
