Road marking

Road surface marking is any kind of device or material that is used on a road in order to convey official information. They can also be applied in other facilities used by vehicles to mark parking spaces or designate areas for other uses.

Road surface marking are used on paved roadways to provide guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians. Uniformity of the markings is an important factor in minimizing confusion and uncertainty about their meaning, and efforts exist to standardize such marking across borders. 

Road surface marking can also indicate regulation for parking and stopping. The essential purpose of road marking is to guide and control traffic on a highway. They supplement the function of traffic signs. The marking serve as a psychological barrier and signify the delineation of traffic path and its lateral clearances from traffic hazards for the safe movement of traffic.
