Not where it snows. I grew up in a place with real winters and agressive plowing/salting of roads. Drivers there don't rely on what's painted on the roads since it's often obscured and the state DOT doesn't really bother putting much information on the road surface, since it's often obscured and when not obscured too damaged from the plowing and salt to be of reliable use anyways.
It was one of the notable differences when I relocated to CA. CA puts a lot more information on the road surface, and CA drivers correspondingly rely on it more heavily.
