Road Marking
Road marking is the application of lines, symbols, and other visual guides on road surfaces to convey information to drivers and pedestrians. These markings are essential for traffic control, safety, and efficient navigation. Here are some key aspects of road marking: Types of Road Markings Longitudinal Markings: Center Lines: Separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. Typically, a single solid yellow line or double yellow lines. Lane Lines: Separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Usually white lines, dashed or solid. Edge Lines: Mark the edges of the roadway. Solid white or yellow lines. Transverse Markings:
Stop Lines: Indicate where vehicles should stop at intersections or pedestrian crossings. Yield Lines: Triangular markings that indicate where vehicles should yield. Crosswalks: Marked pedestrian crossing areas, usually with parallel white lines or zebra stripes. Other Markings: Arrows: Indicate the direction of travel or lane usage (e.g., turn lanes). Text Markings: Words such as "STOP", "SCHOOL", or speed limits painted on the road surface. Symbols: Such as bike lanes, handicapped spaces, or no-parking zones. Hatching: Diagonal or crosshatch markings indicating areas where vehicles should not enter, often used for medians or no-parking zones.
