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.
We take a risk-based approach to the maintenance of road markings, prioritising those markings that contribute the most to the safety of road users.
