Road markings

Road marking work is generally carried out during spring, summer and autumn. Road markings contribute to a safe driving environment by conveying information to road users which might not be possible using upright signs.

Road markings can be advisory, such as keep clear markings. They can also be enforceable, eg yellow lines, box junctions, or stop lines.
