Road markings convey important information and requirements to road users about what they can or cannot do. When used appropriately, they make a vital contribution to safety and traffic management.
In addition, where appropriate, we may introduce new road markings, which include access protection markings (H bars), disabled bays or new parking controls and restrictions.
Road Lining Refresh
The county-wide cyclical maintenance programme refreshes all road markings on the main ßÙßÇÂþ» road network with between 3-4 Boroughs/Districts are included in the programme each year. This includes going 30 metres into side roads to ensure give-way markings and waiting restrictions on corners are refreshed.
All other requests for the refreshment of road markings are assessed, prioritised and work carried out, as required, on an ad-hoc basis.
Lines on resurfaced roads
Where we have resurfaced a road, we aim to replace all the road markings within 6 weeks. We can take longer on certain roads due to parked cars, weather and other factors that affect us being able to get the lines down.
Road markings on trunk roads and motorways (A3, M25, M23, A30 and M3) are the responsibility of National Highways.
