Why do some paved roads not have centerlines and edgelines painted?

Generally, dead end roads and subdivision roads do not require marking.  Exceptions have been made where a traffic engineering investigation has determined that safety is enhanced by providing markings.  Striping of residential roads is only considered if requested in writing by the Homeowners Association.  Associations need to canvass their members on this issue because many residents often don't want a road painted.
