What are road markings?

Road markings are markings on the road surface, designed to help keep drivers and pedestrians safe and within the law, and to improve the efficiency and flow of the road network. Road markings are usually applied using line applications, such as epoxy resin, MMA or thermoplastic, all of which boast various properties including:

• Durability – Durability is vital when it comes to road markings, especially on roads with high levels of traffic. Lines on roads need to remain visible and vibrant for as long as possible, to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians, and to keep road maintenance budgets under control, by preventing the need for constant reapplications.
• Reflectivity – Applications such as thermoplastic, are manufactured with the addition of reflective glass beads. When lit by headlights, natural lighting or other lights, lines installed using these applications are illuminated, making them much easier to distinguish in poor light.
• Anti-skid – Line marking applications with anti-skid properties means that the applications contains a high-friction aggregate. This aggregate (grit), is used due to its high abrasion qualities, and its polish resistance, which means that regular use won’t smooth it out as quickly as normal asphalt.

Types of road markings

Each road marking is designed for a specific use. At City Road Markings, we design and install all types of road markings to all types of road surfaces, both in the private and public sector. Some of the road markings we install include:

• Hazard markings – These could include chevrons, cross-hatch markings, stop lines, zigzag lines or various graphics that warn of a potential hazard. At City Road Markings, we’ll ensure any road marking intended to warn of a hazard will be designed to legal specifications and installed using a hardwearing and vibrant road marking application.
• Directional markings – Directional markings include arrows, or graphics that guide drivers to an amenity, such as a carpark, airport, or a tourist destination. All directional markings installed by City Road Markings will be designed to be instantly recognisable and easy to follow, and within legal specifications.
• Parking bays – Modern parking bays often need to convey a lot more information than they once did. Information could be relating to residents parking schemes, parking for disabled drivers, parents with young children or electric car charging points etc. At City Road Markings we install all types of parking bays, with the required graphics if necessary.
• Facility markings – Facility markings, such as bus stop and bus lane markings, taxi lanes and taxi rank markings, and emergency vehicle lanes etc. need to be clear and distinctive to warn drivers in good time. At City Road Markings, all facility markings we install will be to legal specifications, and usually applied using a reflective road marking application to ensure greater visibility, even in poor light.
