Markings are cured when all the chemical reactions stop. That means all the water and solvents have evaporated. The No-track condition usually comes sooner.

Intercoat Adhesion of waterborne traffic paints can be a problem if the application parameters and dry time recommendations are not followed.• For Fast Dry Waterborne paints, the minimum
application temperature is 50°F and rising.
• For both paints, the temperature must be at least 5°F above the dew point and be maintained during the dry through.
• For Low Temperature Application Waterborne paints, the minimum application temperature is 35°F and rising.
• First coat must be completely cured (24 hours) before application of a second coat or new layer.
