Road marking refers to the lines, symbols, and words painted on road surfaces to guide and inform drivers and pedestrians. These markings help indicate lanes, crosswalks, and parking areas, ensuring safe and efficient traffic flow. Common types include solid lines, dashed lines, and arrows, each serving a specific purpose. The materials used for road marking can vary, including paint, thermoplastic, and reflective materials. Reflective markings enhance visibility at night or in poor weather conditions. Proper maintenance of these markings is essential to ensure they remain clear and effective for all road users.
