    Road markings guide and control traffic flow through channels and barriers indicated by different colors. White, yellow, blue, green and red help separate types of road users and denote hazards. Pavement markings are classified into longitudinal, transverse, hazard, block, arrow, directional and facility markings. Examples include lane lines, pedestrian crossings, no parking zones, and symbols near the road. Proper markings follow international standards to safely direct diverse users.

    Longitudinal Marking for Undivided Roads


    • Longitudinal marking at mid-block section of single/
    intermediate lane roads, where the carriageway is less than 5.5
    m.

    • Longitudinal marking at mid-block section for two lane roads,


    where the carriageway is 5.5 m to 7 m without any paved
    shoulder.
