An apparatus for applying a traffic stripe includes a vehicle having a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels and members, disposed on the vehicle, for steering the front wheels. Also included is a traffic stripe applying system, disposed outward of the front wheels and adjacent to one of the front wheels, for applying a traffic stripe to a road. A connector pivotally connects this applying system to the vehicle and defines an axis about which the applying system pivots relative to the vehicle. In addition, connected to the applying system, disposed forward of the pivot axis and acting in response to the steering of the front wheels, is a member or members for turning the applying system in the same direction as the front wheels when the front wheels are turned. In a preferred embodiment, this turning member or members also turns the traffic strip applying system at a greater angle than the front wheels when the front wheels are turned in a direction towards the applying system.
