Pavement Marking is a great way to promote public safety and observance of government rules and regulations.

They exist as codes to reinforce the aid rules or also give warnings to the driver without having to remove their attention from the road ahead. They are highly critical in providing guidance, so in general, they are an effective way of road safety assurance.

There are several types of pavement marking as defined by the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices. The basic general principles that govern Traffic Devices include the following: color, width and number. The colors of standard marking are yellow or white. Longitudinal lines help designate traffic, whereas words and symbols are used as warnings. Blue and red are also used to designate parking for persons with disabilities and roadways that are no to be entered, respectively. The width of a line actually is used to drive the degree of emphasis, but the common center- and edgeline is within 4 to 6 inches wide. The number of lines, such as the double line, means that driving across them is prohibited.

Materials that we use depend on how much the budget is; how long it will last under the elements and traffic; the type of surface used in paving the road; and, how long it takes for the material to dry. Pavement marking deteriorate over time due to two major contributing factors: weather and heavy traffic.
