An apparatus mountable on a vehicle is provided for pre-marking pavement for striping or lining comprising a distance sensor which emits an infrared light beam toward the roadway edge or curb, where it is reflected by a reflector mounted on a stick held by a roadway worker. The reflected light is received by a beam receiver, and the distance of the vehicle from the roadway edge is computed and provided to a marking device, which has a paint gun movable transversely on a carriage guide to position the paint gun a predetermined distance from the roadway edge and mark the pavement in response to the distance measurement.
